Cashew is my personal favorite, because the nuts are so deliciously creamy and have no skins to remove!
Almond, pecan, walnut, even macadamia milk—you can turn just about ANY nut into a non-dairy milk! All-natural, no carrageenan or additives to worry about, and you can flavor your homemade nut milks if you like.
