Steps to make Oat Milk
Add oats and water, to a high-speed blender. Top with lid and cover with a towel to ensure it doesn't splash. Blend for about 30 seconds - 1 minute or until the mixture seems well combined. Take note, over-blending can make the oat milk slimy in texture.
Scoop out a small sample with a spoon to test flavor. If you would like to make it sweet, add in red dates!
Pour the mixture over a large mixing bowl or pitcher covered with a very thin towel. Double strain through a very fine towel to remove any oat remnants.
Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. You can keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Shake well and enjoy cold. DO NOT HEAT or it will thicken and become gelatinous in texture.
