Once thick and comes easily off the sides it will be ready. Pour in half the cashews milk and stir well. Add the rest and continue stiring.

- Take off of the heat. In a bowl add ice water. Using a spoon take a large portion of the mozzarella mixture and drop it in the ice water forming mozzarella balls. Transsfer to fridge and let for about 4 hours.
- For the brine
- In a bowl add the water and the salt drop the mozzarella balls inside and keep in the fridge for about 8 days
Notes
