1

Place the rolled oats (1 cup), water (4 cup), salt (1 pinch), and any desired add-ins like date (1 whole) or maple syrup (1 tbsp), vanilla extract (0.5 tsp), cacao powder (2 tbsp), or fresh berries (0.25 cup) into a high-speed blender.
2

Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 to 45 seconds until well combined. Avoid over-blending to prevent a slimy texture.
3

Strain the mixture through a clean t-shirt or thin towel over a mixing bowl. For the smoothest result, double strain to remove all remaining pulp.
4

Transfer the milk to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Shake well before use and enjoy cold; do not heat as it will thicken significantly.
