Oat Milk

Alternative milks do not just have to be for those who are sensitive
to dairy. They each offer different health benefits and are a breeze
to make in the Cuisinart blender. On top of that, they are much
®
less expensive to make at home than to purchase in the store,
especially oat and rice milks. You can sweeten them as you wish,
or even add a pinch of cinnamon. The only caveat is that
homemade milks do not last as long in the refrigerator as their
store-bought counterparts since there are no stabilizers added.
Makes about 3 cups (750 ml)
1 cup (250 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
(not quick cooking)
4 cups (1 L) water, divided
Pinch kosher salt
1. Put the oats and 2 cups (500 ml) of the water into a mixing
bowl and cover. Allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up
to overnight. Do not refrigerate. After resting, drain and rinse
the oats very well.
2. Put 2 cups (500 ml) of fresh water, the soaked, drained oats
and a pinch of salt into the blender jar.
3. Select High and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Use immediately. The oat milk will last up to 3 days,
refrigerated. Shake, stir or re-blend before using.

Be sure to use brown rice for the greatest health benefits. Rice
milk has the most neutral flavour of the alternative milks that we
provide in this recipe book, so if you are looking for a liquid that
has more flavour than water and a bit more body, choose rice milk.
