Ingredients
- 1 C cashew nut pieces or use slivered almonds
- 4-1/2 C filtered water or use spring water
- 1 medjool date pit removed
- 1 vanilla bean 1" piece split

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4-1/2 cups filtered or spring water to a boil.
- Add cashew nut pieces or slivered almonds to pan. Remove from heat.
- Remove pit from medjool date and add to pan. Cut about a one inch piece of vanilla bean. Split vanilla bean in half and add to pan.
- Cover pan with a tight fitting lid. Let stand for about 4 hours or refrigerate overnight once liquid cools to room temperature.
- Add contents of pan to a blender. Add blue spirulina. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Divide into four 8-ounce glass bottles or jars with tight fitting lids. Store Blue Milk in refrigerator and consume within 4 days.
- NOTE - using soft cashews or slivered almonds eliminates the need to strain nut milk through a nut bag. However, you may add this step for creamier nut milk. Or blend nut milk mixture without adding blue spirulina. Strain nut milk through a fine mesh sieve and then add blue spirulina.
