Rinse the rolled oats under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any dust or impurities.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed oats, water, and cinnamon stick.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Transfer the oat mixture to a blender. Add vanilla extract, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.
Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is very smooth.
Place a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher.
Pour the blended oat mixture through the nut milk bag or strainer, squeezing and pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the oat pulp.
Chill the bebida de avena in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve cold, and give it a good stir before pouring each glass. Enjoy!
