Instructions:

  1. Soak or Boil Cashews
    Soak 75 g (½ cup) raw cashews in cold water for 4 hours, or cover with water and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse well before using.
  2. Blend
    Peel 3 lemons and remove all seeds. Add the soaked cashews, 120 ml (½ cup) water, 60 ml (¼ cup) maple syrup, 1 pinch salt, the peeled lemons, 100 ml (⅓–½ cup) maple syrup, and 720 ml (3 cups) cold water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth.
  3. Strain (Optional)
    For the smoothest result, pour through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a large pitcher. Press firmly to extract all liquid.
  4. Taste and Adjust
    Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if needed. Stir or shake before each serving.
  5. Serve
    Fill glasses with ice. Pour the creamy lemonade over the ice and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint.

Tips:

  • Use a high-speed blender for the creamiest result.
  • Chill the pitcher before serving for the coldest drink.
  • A sugar-rimmed glass makes a nice presentation for guests.
