I stumbled upon this recipe one chilly morning when I ran out of almond milk and decided to make cashew milk from scratch.
It was a game-changer!
The homemade milk's creaminess blew me away, and I realized warming it up with espresso was just the comfort I needed.
Now, it's my little ritual that brings a moment of peace before the day kicks in.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Raw cashews are the secret ingredient here—they're what gives the milk its signature creaminess. If you're avoiding nuts, I've tried using sunflower seeds instead; it's different, but still tasty. And, if maple syrup isn't your thing, a drizzle of agave or even a date syrup works beautifully too.
Tips & Notes
- •For the creamiest latte, I like to blend the cashews with a pinch of salt—it really brings out the flavor.
- •I keep my cashew milk in a glass bottle in the fridge; it lasts about 3-4 days, but let's be honest, it disappears faster than that!
- •If you're in the mood for froth, use a handheld frother right in the mug—it's a quick way to make your latte extra special.
Recipe Variations
- •On chilly days, I'll sprinkle in a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for an added cozy vibe.
- •Once, I had a craving for chocolate, so I mixed in some cocoa powder—hello, homemade mocha heaven!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover cashew milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before using as separation may occur.
