Have you tried making oat milk? I just love how easy it is to make this tasty, dairy free, milk alternative. I've been
experimenting with different ingredients. So far my
favorites are blueberry, chocolate and vanilla. Yum.
There
are several online places that state to soak the oats for several
minutes before blending, then some sites that say that soaking will make
your milk slimy. I have tried both ways and do find the soaked oats to
be a little slimy, so I chose to not soak. Ingredients:
1 cup of old fashioned oats
4 cups of water
nut milk bag
high speed blender
small bowl
dates for sweetener - optional
vanilla - optional
fresh fruit - optional
spices - optional
cacao or cocoa - optional
Add 1 cup of old fashioned oats, 4 cups of water and any other
ingredients to your blender and blend for 30 to 45 seconds; pour into the nut milk bag and strain.

Refrigerate until
chilled then enjoy. Drink it plain, pour over cereal, add to your
coffee. I use it for making chia pudding. Yum. So many possibilities.
The milk does separate as it sits in the refrigerator. That doesn't change the flavor at all. Just give it a good shake and you're good to go. Should be used within 3 days.
