Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3 cups cold filtered water
OPTIONAL
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 Medjool dates
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Pour the oats, water and any optional ingredients into your blender and blend on high until smooth.*
- Strain the oat milk by pouring it through a nut milk bag (or cheese cloth) into a pitcher or bowl. Use your hands to squeeze the milk out of your nut milk bag. Once no more milk is coming out, you can discard the oat pulp. Refrigerate your oat milk until chilled.
- Store your oat milk in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Shake thoroughly before using.
Notes
*This milk CANNOT be heated up, unless you want a thick, gelatinous mess:)
*If you have a high speed blender and want your oat milk to remain thick, you can drink it without straining it.
*If you are using a liquid sweetener to sweeten your milk, first make and strain your milk using only the oats and water. After you've strained your milk, then pour the oat milk back into your blender and blend in your liquid sweetener.
