Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (e.g., stevia or monk fruit)
Instructions
Place the rolled oats in a large bowl and cover them with enough water to submerge. Let them soak for about 30 minutes to soften.
Drain the soaked oats in a fine mesh strainer and rinse them under cold running water.
In a blender, combine the rinsed oats with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and milky, about 1-2 minutes.
Strain the blended oat mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher, squeezing and pressing the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible. The leftover oat pulp can be reserved for another use, such as baking.
Rinse the blender and pour the strained oat milk back into it. Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and your choice of a natural sweetener. Blend for an additional 30 seconds to combine the flavors.
Taste the oat milk and adjust sweetness or vanilla if desired. You may also add a bit more water if a thinner consistency is preferred.
Transfer the oat milk to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the beverage to chill.
Before serving, give the oat milk a good shake or stir, as separation may occur. Enjoy your sugar-free bebida de avena chilled over ice, or use it as a base for smoothies or in coffee.
