Homemade Oat Milk

Measure out all ingredients.

Add the water, oats, dates or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Secure the lid.

Turn the blender on the highest setting and blend for 1 minute. The mixture should look creamy and well combined.

Place the nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the oat mixture into the bag or strainer.

Gently squeeze the nut milk bag or press the mixture through the strainer with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.

Transfer the oat milk to a bottle or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
