Method:
- Soak the oats in 3 cups of water. Do so for about 20 minutes. This step is not compulsory, but it does make the end result better.
- Drain and rinse the oats. Put the oats in the blender with the remaining 3 cups of water.
- Blitz the mixture with the blender for 20 seconds.
- Strain the mixture with your strainer (or use some cheesecloth). Expect to drain the mixture more than once.
- Keep the oat milk in your fridge in an airtight container. It lasts for up to 5 days.
If you want to sweeten your oat milk, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or some dates when soaking your oats.
Use your oat milk as a substitute for regular dairy milk. Its delicious flavor may make you forego cow’s milk forever!
