Ingredients
- 1 cup of rolled oats use certified gluten-free oats if you are gluten intolerant
- 4 cups of water
Instructions
- Soak the rolled oats in water for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Drain and rinse well.
- Put them in the blender with 4 cups of fresh water and blend for about 1-2 minutes.
- Strain the milk with a very fine strainer, an old kitchen towel or a nut-milk bag.
- Store it in a glass container with a lid in the fridge, it will keep for 4-6 days.
Notes
- Don't blend for more than 30–40 seconds or the milk will become slimy. Use cold water. Don't soak the oats. Squeeze the pulp gently — pressing too hard makes it gritty. For extra-smooth milk, strain a second time.
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
- 2 pitted dates and a pinch of salt
- pinch of cinnamon
- teaspoon of vanilla
