This cashew milk has the viscosity of regular whole milk; if you want to make milk with the consistency of 2% cow milk, add another cup of water. For half and half (great for coffee and tea), use only 2 cups water in the above recipe.

Thanks, Elana! I hadn’t known how much water to add.
I don’t have a VitaMix, so I just use my blender. It ends up a bit crunchy, but that’s ok for my cookie recipes.
I have just put it through cheesecloth, in the days of wanting to drink it.
