Instructions
- 1
Set aside a 450ml capacity plastic tub and keep it close by for the finished mixture.

Soak raw cashews (50 g) in just-boiled water for 120 minutes until soft. Drain before using.

In a small bowl, mix psyllium husk powder (0.25 tsp) with 3 tsp of tap water. Let it stand for 2 minutes to thicken into a paste.

Place the drained cashews, cool water (150 ml), and the thickened psyllium paste into a high-speed blender. Blend for 1 minute on high until perfectly smooth.
