Soak the cashew nuts in filtered water for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for around 8 hours

Drain and rinse the cashews and blend them - you can add clean filtered water a tablespoon at a time to get a thinner cream or blend without to get a thick cream

Blend in 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla essence (or your vanilla pod) and 1 tbsp of maple syrup, honey or 2 soaked and pitted dates to sweeten

Store in fridge in a glass jar for up to a week (if it lasts that long!)
