Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • 1 high speed blender
  • 1 fine-mesh strainer
  • 1 nut milk bag

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 4 cups ice cold water

Optional Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 Dates soaked in water for at least an hour
  • pinch of salt
  • vanilla for flavor

Instructions

  • Add 4 cups of ice cold water to a blender
  • Add 1 cup of oats
  • Blend on High for 30-45 seconds
  • Immediately strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer to get the bulk of the oat pulp out of the milk. I like to alternate and strain it 3-4 times.
  • Then run your milk through a nut milk bag.
  • Add your sweetener and flavorings such as maple syrup and vanilla at this time. If you choose to use dates to sweeten the milk, blend them with the oats and then strain them out.
  • Put the milk in an airtight glass container such as a mason jar or milk jug.
  • Keep in the fridge for 6-7 days.
