Cashew nut milk & cashew paté
Use this recipe to make nut or oat milk. You can also use leftover nut pulp to make a delicious paté. Zero waste and less Tetra Pak recycling!
You don’t need a fancy blender to get super smooth plant milk, use a clean tea towel or buy a reusable nut bag to make it even easier. It seems more expensive to make your own but some shop bought milks can have as little as 1% nut in them plus you will avoid the added sugars, stabilisers or preservatives.
You can make the crackers which feature at the end of the recipe here: https://youtu.be/zPq_ChSOHqY

Tips
You can use the same 1-3 ratio to make oat milk. Instead of a paté use the leftover oat pulp as a base to make cookies. You'll need to bake them on a lower heat than normal to allow them to dry out.
Make sure you use raw nuts for fresh-tasting milk. Roasted tastes ok too, salted, not so much.
If you have forgotten to soak the nuts you can fast-track by covering them in hot water for 10mins
