Homemade Creamy Oatmilk

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken
Yield: 1 quart
Total Time: 30 minutes
Categories: drinks

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1 handful ice cubes
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (peanut or canola)

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients (except the oil) to your blender, and blend on high for 30 - 45 seconds. Periodically pour the oil in to slowly incorporate and emulsify the liquid. Do not blend any longer than 45 seconds or you run the risk of warming the oat milk which will make it slimy.
  2. Line a large bowl with a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and pour the through it. Gently squeeze until all of the milk is strained through. Make sure to squeeze lightly, as squeezing it too much can make too much oat pulp leak through. Discard the pulp or use it in a recipe.
  3. Transfer the oat milk to a sealable container and pop it in the fridge. Use as desired. The oat milk will naturally separate as it sits so just give it a shake before using. Oat milk will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 7 days or longer.
