To make your own oat milk, you will need:

A sheet of muslin to strain. £3.75, Amazon. When straining through muslin or cheesecloth it’s easier to do so in batches.
A 1l pyrex jug to measure the water. £13.78, Amazon
A blender to blitz the oats. £54.99, Amazon

Ingredients

rolled or jumbo oats 100g
maple syrup or honey 1 tsp

Method

Step 1

Blitz rolled or jumbo oats, maple syrup or honey and 250ml water for 30 seconds (any longer and the mixture will become slimy) in a blender or food processor. Strain through muslin or cheesecloth (you may want to do this twice), discarding the purée. Taste the oat milk and add more syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink, or add more water if you prefer a thinner consistency. Shake or stir before drinking.
