Oatmilk Ingredients

Method

Oatmilk Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Oats

    Place the rolled oats in a fine mesh strainer and rinse them under cold running water for about 30 seconds. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the oat milk from becoming slimy.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the rinsed oats, 4 cups of water, salt, and vanilla extract. If you want to sweeten your oat milk, add your preferred sweetener at this stage. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Place a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended oat mixture into the strainer. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to let the liquid pass through, then gently squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible. Be careful not to squeeze too hard, as it can make the milk slimy.

  4. 4

    Store the Oatmilk

    Transfer the strained oat milk into a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal and store in the refrigerator. Shake well before using, as natural separation may occur.

  5. 5

    Enjoy

    Use your homemade oat milk in coffee, smoothies, cereal, or any recipe that calls for milk.
