Oat Milk

1 cup organic gluten free old fashioned rolled oats

Add oats to a large bowl and cover with water, leave to soak for 15 minutes.

Pour through the sieve discarding the liquid then rinse the oats very well a number of times under running water. This step is really important, so DO NOT skip this step.

Oats get slimy when they get wet. By discarding the soaking water and rinsing them well before making the milk, you wash off the slime. If you do not discard the water and rinse the oats well, then your milk will be slimy.

3 cups water
2 medjool dates (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1/8 tsp salt

Put the rinsed oats, water and whatever the optional ingredients you want into a blender, blend until as smooth as you can get it, around 1 minute in vitamix.

Strain 2 or 3 times through a sieve. If you use nut milk bag, straining once will be sufficient.

Pour into a lidded container and store in the fridge.

Note: Straining this oat milk at least twice is recommended. 3 times is best, if you have time.
Shake well before using.
It will last for 3 to 4 days in the fridge.
