Creamy Cashew Hemp Latte
Cosy Cashew Hemp Latte
Serves 2
For the cashew hemp milk (makes ~4 cups):
2/3 cup cashews, soaked 2+ hours, drained
3 tbsp hulled hemp seeds
3½ cups water
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp maple syrup (or 1 whole date, pitted)
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of turmeric + tiny pinch of black pepper
For the latte:
2 cups cashew hemp milk
1 shot espresso
Extra pinch of cinnamon to serve
Method:
Blend all milk ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Warm gently in a small saucepan with the espresso — don't boil.
Pour, dust with cinnamon, serve warm.
This keeps it dairy-free and anti-inflammatory, cuts the sugar right down, adds blood-sugar-friendly cinnamon and anti-inflammatory turmeric, and lowers the caffeine to one shot so it's gentler on cortisol.
