Soak 1 cup of cashews overnight in purified water, then drain and rinse them; if short on time, soak in hot water for an hour instead.

7

Add a big pinch of sea salt, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger to the food processor.

Transfer the mousse into serving dishes, such as martini glasses.
