Equipment

  • A blender.
  • Nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer.
  • Mixing bowl for straining the milk into.
  • Wide mouthed kitchen funnel.
  • Glass jar or container with a lid for storing.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (40g) gluten free rolled oats.
  • 2 cups (500ml) cold water.

Optional.

  • pinch of salt.

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats and water to a blender. If you want to add the optional ingredients do so now.
  • Blend all the ingredients together for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is combined.
  • Pour the oat milk through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer and into a large bowl so that the liquid is separated from the oat pulp.
  • Using a kitchen funnel decant the oat milk from the mixing bowl into your mason jar or glass bottle for storing. Refrigerate until needed.

Notes

Will keep for up to 5 days stored in a lidded container in the fridge. The recipe is easily doubled for a larger quantity.
I found the following helpful to avoid getting a slimy oat milk:
Use cold water and don’t pre-soak the oats.
Don’t blend the ingredients for longer than necessary.
Don’t squeeze the oats at the bottom of the nut milk bag, like you do when you make nut milk.
