Equipment

• Chufamix (container, filter, pestle and lid)
• Hand blender
• Small pot
• Bottle

Ingredients

  

• 50 g Rolled oats
• 1 liter Water
• 1 Walnut kernel
• 1 pinch Fine salt

Instructions

 

• Heat 1 liter of water at a temperature of 70 °C. The water should be warm, but more importantly, not hot. So turn off the fire just the first bubbles appear on the bottom of the pot.
• Transfer the warm water into the Chufamix container (container + filter), add oats, walnut kernel and salt.
• Grind with the hand blender for 30 seconds.
• Lift the Chufamix filter and with the help of the pestle, very gently, press to strain the oat milk, as much as possible.
• The oat milk obtained can be stored in the Chufamix container or, as I do, transferred to a glass bottle.
• Wait for the oat milk to cool then store it in the fridge. The oat milk can be kept for 3 – 4 days.

Notes

Variations:

1. If you want more or less liquid oat milk, simply play on the temperature of the water. For example, by decreasing the water temperature you get a more liquid milk, with less mucilage.
2. If you like, you can sweeten oat milk by adding one of these ingredients: some raisins (softened in warm water), a date, a few grams of brown sugar, a pinch of cinnamon…

 

What about the pulp that remains in the filter? Obviously nothing is wasted! The pulp (the name is okara) can be used to make a lot of savory or sweet recipes. Soon I will propose you some of them.

 

Oat milk can be heated in the microwave or with a pot on the stove, but with care! The secret is not to boil the milk, in this way the formation of mucilage, a type of fiber in which oats are rich, is prevented.

 

The self-production of oat milk provides a significant savings but above all a lower environmental impact. In addition, if you pay proper attention to the origin of oats when buying, you will not contribute to those plantations that use pesticides.
