## Tips

- Soak raw cashews for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Separation is normal, just shake before use; grittiness means not blended long enough or blender is not high-powered.
- Coconut cream can be omitted for less creaminess.
- If using almonds or a non-high-powered blender, strain through a nut milk bag.
