Chocolate Cashew Milk

1 cup raw, unsalted, whole cashews or broken cashew
3-4 cups water
1/4 cup finely chopped dark chocolate
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-2 Tablespoons cane syrup or sugar

5. Add water 1/2 cup at a time until the milk reaches a consistency of your taste. Taste

and adjust sweetening and salt to your liking.
Note: It will thicken further when cooled.
