• Strain the Mixture:
• Using a nut milk bag, fine mesh sieve, or cheesecloth, strain the oat mixture into a large bowl or pitcher.
• Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible. The remaining pulp can be used in baking or composted.
• Store and Refrigerate:
• Transfer the strained oat milk into a clean bottle or jar.
• Shake well before each use, as oat milk tends to settle.
• Enjoy:
• Use your homemade oat milk in coffee, tea, cereal, or any recipe that calls for milk.
