How To Make Oat Milk (Non-Slimy + Tips!)
This oat milk recipe involves blending rolled oats with ice-cold water for a short time, then straining the mixture to produce smooth, non-slimy oat milk. Optional additions like maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt can enhance flavor. The strain ensures a creamy yet light plant-based milk with minimal sediment or sliminess.
Ingredients

- 4 cups water ice cold
Optional
- 1 to 2 tablespoon maple syrup
