Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- 1
Add the oats and water to a high-speed blender (or any blender you have) and blend until the oats have broken down and the liquid looks creamy, about 30 seconds to a minute. Do not blend more then needed or the oat milk will get slimy.
- 2
Add the vanilla, salt, and maple syrup. Blend for an additional 3-5 seconds.
- 3
Pour the liquid through a nut bag or over a fine mesh strainer. Gently pull the bag up and let the milk drip through.
- 4
Allow the milk to strain through at its own pace. If you try to squish or push the milk through, the milk will get slimy.

Store in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 5 days.
