Basic Thick Cashew Cream

Name: Basic Thick Cashew Cream
Ingredients: 1 cup whole raw cashews (5 ounces/142 grams, rinsed and soaked 3-4 hours or overnight. Or use boiling water and they'll be re); 2/3 cup water (I actually use about half because I like the cream to be thick, 160 ml); 1/4 cup maple syrup (60 ml); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/4 teaspoon guar gum (can substitute xanthan gum or omit)
