Directions for Oat Milk

Fill up your blender with cold water to just below the top line. We want some space for our oats.

Add in oats. I use 1 cup of oats, but you can use more or less depending on how much oat flavor you want. Make sure to use old fashioned oats. Steel cut oats would need to soak for several hours to soften.

Blend on high for about 20 seconds. You don’t want to over blend or it gets slimy. Technically, you have oat milk, but it has a lot of pulp.

I like to double filter the oat milk. The first pass is through a nut milk bag.

Then I filter it again through a cotton cloth. Mine is just a cut up shirt. It was a new shirt that didn’t fit. I tried using an old shirt that I washed several times and it tasted like, well shirt.

I used to just filter through the nut milk bag, but it left the oat milk chalky.

And there you have it, your oat milk is done… OR is it? Sure you can drink it like it is, but I prefer something sweeter. I do have a massive sweet tooth after all.
