Manage episode 350276472 series 3134609
As soon as Linh gave birth to Lilah we started looking at ways to increase milk supply. I had heard about Oatmeal as a way of increasing milk supply but owning a coffee shop it dawned on me that it might be worth looking into the benefits of Oat Milk.
So after some research I did a small podcast on it.
Ps. if you want to make oat milk here is the recipe otherwise jump onto Prasads Home and Garden and purchase some, it's a lot easier.
How Do You Make Oat Milk?
To start making oat milk, you will need two ingredients: oats and water. You will also need a blender, a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, and a jar to store the oat milk.
- First, measure out 2 cups of oats and 4 cups of water. Steel cut oats, rolled oats, or instant oats may be used.
- Then, soak the oats in the water in the refrigerator overnight.
- After soaking, blend the oats and water mixture in a blender.
- Then, strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to separate the pulp from the liquid. The liquid is the “oat milk” and the pulp may be either eaten or baked.
- Store the oat milk in the refrigerator for up to two days. Store-bought oat milk may last longer than the homemade version. Be sure to read the instructions on the package.
