Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup raw cashews (see notes for alternatives)
  • 3 cups non-dairy milk
  • 1/4-1/2 cup granulated sugar or pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 ounce whiskey or rum, per serving, optional

Instruction

  • Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Pour the hot water over the cashews and let soak for 5 minutes.
  • Drain the cashews and discard the soaking water. Add them to a blender along with the non-dairy milk, sugar (you can start with the 1/4 cup), vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves and blend until very smooth. Taste, add more sweetener or spices if needed. 
  • Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, it will thicken up and give the flavors time to mingle. Serve alcohol free or add 1 ounce of whiskey/rum to each glass, as desired. I also topped mine with a little coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
