Ingredients
To Make the "Eggnog"

Instructions
- Start by soaking your raw, unsalted cashews in filtered water. Soak either overnight in room temp water or in boiling water for 20-30 minutes, until they have swelled.
- Drain the cashews and put in your blender with a fresh 4 cups of filtered water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
