Cashew Water

Just wondering why you didn't dump the water after the cashews have been soaked? In other recipes that I've soaked cashews I've emptied the water and then poured in fresh water to blend the cashews.

Also, what do you think about taking the soaked cashews and blending them with some soy creamer instead of water? My thinking is that I want to get the most creamiest taste out of vegan ice cream and wondering if this would help?

Great ice cream questions tages! Dumping the cashew soaking water and replacing it vs actually using the cashew water comes down to personal preference. My preference is to use the soaking water because it has more flavor and eliminates a measuring step. But it's pretty nitpicky of me.

You could add some soy creamer but I prefer to avaid all the highly processed soy creamer additives. The goal of this ice cream is to keep things relatively minimally processed. Again, a rather nitpicky move; I bet it would be a little more rich with the non-dairy creamer. Good luck!
