Cookie Ideas:
I have been making my own almond butter weekly for the past 10 years but never made nut milk until this and I recently just started making my own oat milk. It is all so easy!
For this I chose my one of my favorites, the cashew nut. You can also make this with almonds.
My husband and I are dairy free (by choice) so now that we have the option to change which types of nut milk we drink by being able to make them ourselves is life changing.

This recipe is just what I have been looking for. One question: Can I sub maple syrup for honey?
You can use maple syrup, but I’m not sure how this would alter the flavor. I would test it. I hope this helps, enjoy.
This is the first time I have made my own nut milk so I wasn’t sure if it would thicken up or not. It tastes great.
A delicious and warming drink with great flavors. I’ll be ready for the cold weather with this one.
