In a small bowl, soak the raw cashews in the boiling hot water for at least 30 minutes. (Be careful!) Drain.
Pour the soaked cashews, almond and coconut milks, dates, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and salt into a high-speed blender and blend until creamy. You can strain it through cheesecloth if you like, but I love how creamy this drink is and didn’t bother straining.
Serve cold with rum (if you like!) and garnish with whole cloves.
Notes
This can easily be made the night before and left in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it!
