Ingredients

100 g rolled oats (gluten-free if required)
1 ltr cold filtered water
Pinch of salt
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or agave (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

(Optional) Soak oats in cold water for 15–20 minutes, then drain and rinse – this helps reduce sliminess.
Add oats, fresh water, salt and any optional sweetener or flavourings to a blender. Blend for 30–40 seconds until smooth.
Strain through a nut milk bag, muslin cloth, or fine mesh sieve into a jug or bottle. For best results, strain twice.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using, as separation is natural.
