Description
I've been using unsweetened vanilla almond milk for years, so I wanted to try making it myself, since store bought plant based milks tend to have a lot of extra weird ingredients. Unfortunately making almond milk is more expensive than just buying it, so that's where I got to oat milk. Oats are super cheap, so this is way cheaper than buying oat milk from the store. The process is the same though; I've tried this with quick oats, almonds, peanuts, and pistachios, all to great success.

- Add your oats (or almonds) and water to a high speed blender. Add in any other flavorings you like as well, such as salt, vanilla, or cinnamon
- Blend on high for 30 seconds, or until well combined. Do not over blend, or it will get slimy (this is more of an issue with oat milk than almond milk)
- Place a cheese cloth (or nut milk bag) over a large bowl, and strain the milk. Don't squeeze the milk through the cloth, this could make it slimy
- Transfer to a mason jar or soup container, and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Use the leftover pulp in your morning oatmeal or yogurt bowls
