Cashew Yogurt

Are you tired of living without dairy yogurt? Well here's a fantastic nut yogurt to the rescue! This cashew yogurt is delicious - enjoy it anytime of day!

2 cups cashews (soaked overnight)

1 1/4 cups purified water

1/2 cup mixed berries


Procedure _______________________________________________________________________________

1 Start by soaking the cashews the night before you plan on preparing your yogurt. Simply put the nuts in a mason jar filled with water and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, remove the nuts from the refrigerator and drain.

2 Place the nuts, along with the purified water, into a high powered blender (add more water as needed) and blend until it makes a nice and smooth mixture.

3 Empty the contents of the blender into a milking bag. Began squeezing the liquid from the bag into a bowl.

4 Stop once the milking bag is dry and all the liquid is removed. (You can use the nut pulp that remains in the bag for other recipes, like cookies!)

5 Drain the liquid into a glass jar and cover with a mesh cloth. Place your jar in a warm dry place for 8 to 12 hours in order to let it ferment. (Don't worry if it has separated a bit after the fermentation process - this is completely normal.)

6 After it has fermented, spoon the yogurt into a bowl and top with the berry mix (or your very own favorite ingredients or fruit) and enjoy!

7 NOTE: With this recipe, I did not add a yogurt culture because it is not necessary. However, if you prefer to add one, go right ahead.
