Ingredients

⅓ Cup Rolled Oats
2 Cup filtered water, room temperature
2 dates, pitted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste
2 ice cubes

Instructions

Soak the rolled oats overnight in room-temperature water.
The next day, rinse them with water to remove sliminess.
Add the oats, clean filtered water, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend to make a smooth, creamy milk.
Add the dates, vanilla extract and salt according to your preferred sweetness then blend again for a minute.
For smoother consistency, pass the oat milk through a fine mesh strainer lined with a muslin cloth. Discard the residue.
Oat Milk is ready to use. You can store it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container or use immediately.

Notes

Adding dates as a sweetener is optional. You can substitute them with sugar, jaggery, stevia, or maple syrup.
Do not over-blend the mixture. Just process until it is creamy and slightly thick. The more you blend, the more starch and heat are released which causes a slimy texture that we want to avoid.
If the oat milk becomes too thick, just add a bit more water.
In this oat milk-making process, there is very minimal residue left behind.
