Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of sea salt approximately a ¼ teaspoon
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats, water, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt to the blender and blend on high for 30-45 seconds.
- Drape a double layer of cheesecloth or nut milk bag over a large bowl and pour the oat milk over it.
- Remove the cheesecloth/nut milk bag with the oat pulp.
- Pour the strained oat milk into an airtight jar and store in the fridge.
- Chill and enjoy!
Notes
- Be really mindful of the time in the blender. Any longer than 30-45 seconds will cause the milk to be slimy.
- Resist the urge to squeeze the cheesecloth/nut milk bag to get the excess liquid out–this can also result in slimy milk.
