Ingredients 

For the Vanilla oat milk:

  • 1 cup oats
  • 3 cups water filtered
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt or sugar optional

For the Chocolate oat milk:

  • 1 cup oats
  • 3 cups water filtered
  • 3 Medjool dates
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Turmeric oat milk:

  • 2 cups oat milk
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Making the vanilla oat milk:

  • Pour all the ingredients into a food processor and blend on high until smooth, for about 3 minutes.
  • Strain the oat milk by pouring it through a nut milk bag or a clean cloth into a clean container.
  • Use your hands to squeeze the milk out of the nut milk bag. Enjoy!

Making the chocolate oat milk:

  • Pour all the ingredients into a food processor and blend on high until smooth, for about 3 minutes.
  • Strain the chocolate milk by pouring it through a nut milk bag or a clean cloth into a clean container.
  • Use your hands to squeeze the milk out of the nut milk bag. Enjoy!

Making the turmeric oat milk:

  • In a small pot on medium heat, add ½ cup of the oat milk and the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a simmer.
  • Turn off the heat. Whisk until well incorporated.
  • Stir in the remaining milk. Divide between cups and enjoy.

Notes

Store the oat milk in a sealed bottle in the fridge for 4-5 days and shake well before each use, as it separates naturally. Don't over-blend and don't use warm water, or the milk can turn slimy. The golden turmeric version starts from 2 cups of oat milk you have already made (the first variation), not from raw oats.
