How to make Oat Milk

I had a problem with wasting milk. I would always buy cartons of milk because one recipe required it, or I was just in the mood to have porridge that morning. I’d not even use a quarter of the carton and then forget I had milk for weeks until it spoiled.

About a year ago, I discovered how incredibly easy and quick it is to make your own milk! I wouldn’t personally drink a glass of this milk on its own, although a lot of people do. But it’s great to make pancakes, cookies, porridge, or any recipe that requires milk!

Ingredients (makes around 1 litre milk):

• 1 cup of oats
• 4 cups / 1 litre of cold water (store in fridge or freezer)

‍

Equipment:

• Blender
• Sieve OR French press OR Nut Milk Bag
• Large Bowl
• Jug or large container to store the milk

Instructions:

1. Cool the water either in the fridge or freezer before beginning.  

2. Pour the water and oats into the blender and blend for around 30 seconds.

3. Grab a bowl and sieve and pour the oat and water mixture through the sieve. Squeeze liquid by pressing a spoon against the sieve. (You can separate the pulp from the liquid with a French press or a Nut Milk Bag instead.)*

4. Transfer milk into a clean jug or container.

5. Store in fridge with a lid and consume within around 3 days.  

*Keep the leftover pulp to makes cookies! For recipe click here:
