Quick and Easy Homemade Oat Milk
Making plant-based milks at home is not only quick, easy and inexpensive but also ensures you are consuming quality ingredients without the undesirable added extras in many shop bought varieties. This oat milk is a favourite in our house and is perfect for using in porridge, smoothies, baking/cooking etc. I have found the best way to get the right consistency with oat milk is to use very cold water, jumbo oat flakes rather than the smaller variety and to not over blend!
Ingredients
1 cup jumbo oat flakes (GF if necessary)
4 cups (1 litre) cold water that has been chilled in the fridge for several hours
1 date, chopped
pinch of sea salt
Directions
Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high speed for 25 seconds. Strain the milk through a cotton or hemp nut milk bag, squeezing as much of the liquid through as possible. Transfer into jars or bottles and store in the fridge. Give the milk a good shake before using. This milk will keep for 5-7 days.
