Homemade Oat Milk (Vegan)

I figured out homemade oat milk that is perfect and not slimy! You must follow everything precisely. Every second counts. Hot or cold counts. 

Ingredients:

4 cups water, ice cold (important!)

1 cup organic rolled oats

1 date, blended into water first (opt)

Note: Store-bought oat milk has sugar in it, so you’re probably used to a little sweetness in there without realizing it. If you want it slightly sweet, add the date—or a splash of maple syrup and vanilla. It's good without it, though, so try it both ways.  (Don’t let your water get warm blending the date, though!)

Procedure:

1) Blend oats and ice cold water in Vitamix for exactly 20 seconds. 

2) Strain gently through milk bag without squeezing. 

Perfect! And with no yucky additives and preservatives—and not slimy!! All of my past attempts at homemade oat milk, using recipes on the internet, have been slimy after the first day. This way isn't. Enjoy! 

And if you think maybe it isn't worth the trouble, go look at the list of preservatives and other additives in our store-bought carton. And calculate out the cost per quart. It's definitely worth it, in my opinion.
