Ingredients
Basic Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups ice cold water
Optional Flavorings
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, ice cold water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a high-powered blender. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds, ensuring you do not over-blend to avoid sliminess.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended oat milk through a nut milk bag or a thin towel placed over a large mixing bowl or pitcher to separate the liquid from the oat pulp. For extra smoothness, you may double strain the mixture to remove all sediment.
- Store the Milk: Transfer the strained oat milk into a sealed container and refrigerate. Consume within 4-5 days for the best freshness.
Notes
- Do not over-blend oats and water to prevent slimy oat milk.
- Double straining improves smoothness and removes fine oat particles.
- Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
- Use ice cold water for better creamy texture and to control blending temperature.
- Adjust sweetness by varying maple syrup amount or omitting completely.
- The leftover oat pulp can be used in baking or smoothies to minimize waste.
