Makes: About 1 cup
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
150g cashew nuts
2 probiotic capsules
Salt to taste
Method:
- Cover the cashews with warm water and leave to soak overnight in the fridge. Rinse before using.
- Once the cashews are soft, blend them in a high-powered blender.
- Open the probiotic capsules and empty the contents into the blended cashews. Pulse to incorporate.
- Cover the blender with a damp dishtowel and allow to rest at room temperature for about 12 hours - the warmer the room, the quicker the probiotic can multiply.
- When small bubbles start to appear, blend in salt to taste.
- Transfer to an airtight container (a glass jar works well) and store in the fridge for up to a week.
