- Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for flavor)
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of oats and 4 cups of cold water into a blender.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
- Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine-mesh strainer over a bowl to separate the milk from the pulp.
