Can I make oat milk?
Yes you certainly can! Oat milk is generally made from presoaked oat groats, which are the hulled grain broken into fragments. Use approximately ¾ cup of dry oat groats and soak them for 6-8 hours. Drain and rinse the groats before placing them in the filter cup. The filter cup should be approximately 2/3 full. You can also combine oats with other grains, beans or seeds such as soy, barley, rice, and almonds.
Oat milk is quite light and has a mild, slightly sweet taste, so it substitutes well for low-fat or skim milk. It can also be used in the same way as soymilk or rice milk. Oat milk is a wonderful choice for consumers looking for a milk that is fat and lactose free.
