Oat milk, No dairy

 

Oat milk is a vegan alternative to dairy milk. It is prepared from the rolled oats that is used to make porridge. Ice cubes and cold water is added into the blender along with the oats so that the blender does not heat up when the oats is blitzed. 

Hope you like the fresh homemade vanilla flavored oat milk as much as I do in my ginger tea.

 

The fundamental ingredients...

Rolled oats (Quaker oats) - 1 cup

Ice cubes (small) - 13 to 15

Cold water - 1/2 cup

Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

  

The procedure..

Immerse oats in water overnight. Next day, wash the oats and drain the excess slimy water. Throw into blender along with ice cubes, cold water and vanilla essence. Blitz for about half a minute. Strain using a nut milk bag or a thin cotton cloth. Squeeze out the milk from the bag. Refrigerate. It stays fine for 2 days in the fridge. Use it in lieu of dairy milk for tea and coffee.
