Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the rolled oats, water, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the water is thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked oats mixture to a blender. Add milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (or your preferred sweetener).
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
If a thinner consistency is desired, add more milk and blend again briefly.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any leftover pulp, if preferred. This step is optional based on texture preference.
Pour the oatmeal drink into glasses. Serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator and serve cold.
Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving, if desired.
