Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 6 cups of water
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons of sugar or to taste
- ¼ sea salt
Instructions
- Add the oats and water to a blender and blend for 1 minute.
- Strain the oat milk using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and allow it to naturally strain. This process will take a few minutes. Do not press on the cheesecloth to force the oat milk out. This will result in a smoother oat milk.
- Rinse the blender and pour the oat milk back in the blender. Add the cocoa, sugar, and salt. Blend for one minute. Taste and adjust the sugar levels to taste.
- Pour the oat milk into a pitcher or bottle with a lid and store in the fridge.

Notes
- To adjust the creaminess: We recommend adding a handful of nuts or seeds for creamier homemade oat milk. Increasing the oat-to-water ratio will just lead to slimy oat milk.
- For the smoothest plant milk: Strain it twice or strain it through a very fine material, like a kitchen towel, to remove maximum sediment/starch.
- To fortify homemade oat milk: Blend the contents of a supplement capsule into it (like vegan vitamin D, calcium, or B12).
