Cashew Yogurt

• medium bowl
• colander
• blender, preferably high-speed (e.g., Vitamix)
• 1½-quart Mason jar (or larger)
• cheesecloth
• 1-quart Mason jar

• 2 c raw cashews
• several c water
• ¼ t probiotic powder (2 capsules)

Blend cashews, 1 c fresh water, and probiotic powder for several minutes, until perfectly smooth. Add a little more water if needed.

Transfer into the larger Mason jar, cover with cheesecloth,* and let ferment in a warm place (65-85 degrees) for 8-12 hours. It will get more sour the longer it ferments.**

Stir the yogurt to get rid of the bubbles, transfer to the smaller jar, and store tightly sealed in the refrigerator, for up to a week.

* If you have an ant problem, I recommend using a larger jar and sealing it rather than just covering it with cheesecloth. Or set the jar in a shallow dish of water so that they can’t get to it.

** I’ve found that the flavor and texture are best and just like dairy yogurt after 12 hours of fermentation followed by one day in the fridge.
