Preparation

Place all of the ingredients in a high powdered blender and blend for right at 1 minute, or until there are no chunks left. You really do NOT want to over blend the oat milk or else it will end up slimy and very unpleasant to drink. 45 seconds- 1 minute is usually perfect.
Strain the oat milk by placing a nut milk bag or lint-free towel over the top of a large bowl, pour in the oat milk, and carefully lift up the cloth so that the milk can strain through it.
Discard the pulp and store the milk in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
Serve and Enjoy!
