Instructions

Step 1 – Add the oats, salt, and lemon juice (optional) to a blender. Lemon juice will add a little lemon flavor, but it will also help break down the components that make your oat milk slimy!

Step 2 – Blend for 30 seconds, not more than that or the milk may end up slimy.

Step 3 – Strain the blend through the sieve into a large container. DO NOT push the chaff around too much, as it will get through the sieve into the milk. Instead, gently stir and lift the pulp around as the milk strains.

Step 4 – Discard (or eat!) the pulp, and strain the milk again to ensure you get all the little bits of oat out. 

Step 5 – Add the flavorings you like to your oat milk. If I have used lemon juice, I find it needs maple syrup and vanilla essence. If I have not used the lemon, I might add more salt. Play around to figure out what works for you, but instead of blending it again, I put mine in a jar with a lid and shake the seasonings in.
