Oat Milk
Alternative "milks" are all the rage these days and our month of cookies called seemed like the perfect time to share our recipe for a dairy-free cookie dipping beverage. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup adds flavor and sweetness, don't be surprised if your first sip reminds you of cereal milk! Toasting the oats adds nutty depth and that warm, golden color. Makes 1 quart oat milk, more if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 8 cups water, divided
- 6 pumps Amoretti® Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup
- blender
- chinois, coffee filter, or cheesecloth-lined sieve
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Toast the oats for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and begin to have a toasty aroma.
- Soak the oats in 4 cups water for at least 2 hours.
- Drain soaked oats and give a quick rinse. Place in a blender with the remaining 4 cups of water and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup.
