*Simple Oat Milk
I've always wanted to try another option of milk, especially after seeing the oat milk in the grocery store priced at $5.99 for less than 2L of it. It is a nice break from my usual coconut milk and hase more of an earthy flavor and not as sweet. Feel free to play with the flavor profile and the amount of oats for the creaminess and consistency.
Yield: 1L of milk
You will need:
-1 cup steel cut oats
-3-4 cups water
-1 1/2-2 tablespoons of sweetener (date paste, maple syrup, honey, agave, dates, etc.)
-Pinch of salt to enhance the flavor (optional)
Directions:
1. Soak the oats in water for at least 30 minutes or overnight for softer oats and better digestion
2. Rinse the oats from the gooey texture and water that it was sitting in and place in a blender
3. Add the 4 cups of water to the blender (or more water if you prefer a thinner milk/less water if you prefer a creamier thickness)
4. Blend on low to start and then on high for about 15-20 seconds to ensure the oats have broken down
5. Strain the milk through a nut cloth or a very fine strainer (you may need to do this a couple times if using a strainer)
6. Place the strained milk back into the blender with the sweetener and flavor additions of choice and blend again
7. Strain the milk one last time into a jar or pitcher and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week
*Stir the milk before drinking because the oats and milk will separate while sitting in the fridge
