Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse the soaked cashews under cold water.

  3. 3

    Strain the blended cashew milk through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher to separate the milk from the solids. Squeeze well to extract as much liquid as possible.

  4. 4

    In a small saucepan, heat the strained cashew milk over medium heat until warm, but not boiling.

  5. 5

    Prepare the espresso or strong brewed coffee while the cashew milk is heating.

  6. 6

    Once the cashew milk is warm, stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  7. 7

    Pour the hot espresso or coffee into two mugs, then gently pour the warmed cashew milk over the top.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired and serve immediately.
