Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats*
- 4 cups water, divided
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Tiny pinch of salt
Instructions
- First, we’re going to soak the oats for 15 minutes so they blend and strain more easily. Place the oats in a pitcher or bowl, and add enough water to cover by a couple of inches. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Drain the soaked oats in a fine-mesh sieve, and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
- Next, transfer the oats to your blender. Add 2 cups of the water, plus the maple syrup, vanilla extract and tiny pinch of salt. Blend on high speed until the oat milk is smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups water and blend again.
- To strain, place the fine-mesh sieve over a pitcher and pour the mixture through. Taste, and add more maple syrup for sweetness, if desired.
- Oat milk tastes best after it’s been chilled in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. It will separate over time, so give it a stir before serving. Oat milk will keep well in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.
Notes
*Make it gluten free: Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
