After overnight soaking, rinse the soaked cashew nuts in cold water for 30 seconds.
Add the cashew, 1/2 tsp of Ceylon Cinnamon powder, and 1 tablespoon of water to the blender and blend on your liquefy settings of your blender for 1 minute. Adding too much water will make it harder to blend the cashew into a smooth paste.
Now add 1 Avocado and blend, slowly adding 2 cups of water as you blend.
Add a dash of crushed ice and serve.
If you wish to add sugar, honey or apples, add a little extra Ceylon Cinnamon, as Cinnamon will cut the sugar.

Optionally you can garnish wish a dash of Cinnamon Syrup as we show you here.

WHY CEYLON CINNAMON

Unlike ordinary Cassia Cinnamon you find in the stores, Ceylon Cinnamon has low Coumarin levels, so it won't damage your liver, especially if you are a regular Cinnamon tea drinker. Besides Ceylon Cinnamon is mild, yet slightly sweeter. It's not spicy like store bought Cassia Cinnamon, but has hints of cloves and citrus with wonderful subtle aroma.

Ceylon Cinnamon is subtle and adds to create a more complex flavors. You would never know there is Ceylon Cinnamon in this dish, unlike Cassia Cinnamon which tends to be harsh and immediately makes its presence felt and often ruins the recipe.
