honey, maple syrup, date syrup or brown sugar or any other sweetener, optional
cinnamon, optional
vanilla or almond extract, optional
blender
fine sieve or cheese cloth, if straining
Instructions
Place the oats in a large bowl and pour enough water to cover. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Drain and place in blender. Pour in 3 cups of water and sweetener or additional flavorings if desired. Process until the oats have completely broken down into a creamy liquid. You may add more water if a thinner milk is desired, or less for a slightly thicker consistency. Some people choose to strain the milk through a cheese cloth, I don't. But if you do make sure to save the ground up oats for baking. The milk will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, but it may separate and need to be shaken before using.
