- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups cold water
Optional
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
To a high powered blender, add the rolled oats, cold water and optional sweetener and vanilla. Blend on high for 30 seconds, not longer or your milk may become slimy.
Gently strain the oat milk through a nut milk bag or thin towel over a large bowl. Don't squeeze too much, a gently squeeze is best. If there is still quite a bit of oat sediment in the bowl, strain it once more.
Pour into containers and store in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. Separation is natural, so shake before using. It can also be frozen, if needed.
- Use organic rolled oats if possible, and certified gluten free if needed.
- For storage, I like these larger glass milk jugs, or sometimes I use these little glass containers as well.
- Chocolate milk: Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and more sweetener, to taste. So good!
- Strawberry milk: Add 1 cup of freeze dried strawberries (or 1-2 cups fresh strawberries) and increase the sweetener, to taste.
