Oat Milk

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g oats
  • 750 ml - 1 L water
  • 1 –2 tbsp maple syrup or 1–2 Medjool dates optional
  • A pinch of salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Soak the oats in water for at least 30 minutes. I usually soak them overnight, but that’s not necessary.
  • Drain the oats and rinse them. Discard the soaking water.
  • Add the oats, 3 to 4 cups of clean water (750 ml-1 liter) and all the remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add more or less water depending on how thick you like your oat milk.
  • Strain the milk using a muslin cloth.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

• You can use 1-2 Medjool dates (double the quantity if they are Deglet Nour) or any other sweetener if you like your milk sweet.
• I usually make unsweetened oat milk so I can use it to make savory and sweet recipes.
• Salt is optional, but it enhances the flavour.
• To make the milk, use 3 cups of water (750 ml), try it and then add more water until you get the taste and thickness you’re looking for.
