Frozen Cafe au Lait

Here is a photo of how I store my nut milks in the frig - almond, cashew, macadamia, coconut, etc. I like to use glass because plastic leaches toxins into your food and drinks. Also glass doesn't hold odors or stain like plastic. You can find these on amazon: Glass Jugs


If you are casein-free like me and you haven't made cashew milk yet, please do! I don't like cashews, but cashew milk is delicious, and it makes a great substitute for cream, like in my dairy-free frozen cafe au lait. I used to envy my friends with their Starbucks frappuccinos, but no longer! When I get that yearning I just come home and whip up one of these. Feeling deprived is a thing of the past :-)

Frozen Cafe au Lait: (casein-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, soy-free)
Add to high power blender or food processor:
1 and 1/2 ice cube trays of frozen cashew milk
1/4 cup honey or agave
Pour refrigerated coffee over the cubes up to the 4 cup line. Blend.

For a seasonal twist add a dash of pumpkin pie spice.


Cashew Milk:
Add to high power blender or food processor:
1 cup raw cashews, soaked over night, rinsed in a bowl of fresh water and strained (repeat several times till the water is clear)
4 cups of purified water
1/4 cup agave or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Puree
Note: this is not meant to be stained though a nut milk bag, as with almond milk
