2. How to make Oat milk at home
If you want to add some sweetness to the milk, you can either add some stevia, sugar or cane sugar. To add a nice flavour to the milk, you can add in some vanilla essence. Blend the mixture for 30 seconds or more.
Blend it again and once the consistency is smooth and creamy like milk, using a muslin cloth or cheesecloth or strainer, strain the blend according to the reports published in timesofindia.indiatimes.com.
Repeat the process of straining with a different cloth or strainer and store the milk. This recipe will give you around 5 cups of fresh oat milk.
3. Tips to store and use
Since the shelf life of Oat milk is less, you must ensure that you store it in a moisture free, cool dry place or in a refrigerator that too in an airtight or sealed container.
Make sure you don’t over blend the oats as the heat while blending often turns the milk chalky.
Lastly, always consume the milk in two days, if you are making fresh Oat milk at home.
Add it to your smoothies, shakes, cold brews and coffee to enjoy a healthy and dairy free milk.
