Homemade Oat Milk: A Delicious and Lactose-Free Alternative
If you’re lactose intolerant, you know how difficult it is to enjoy desserts and drinks without the horrible discomfort caused by this nutrient in milk. Fortunately, there are many other options with which you can cook just as well and that are delicious and lactose-free. An example of this is rich homemade oat milk, which we’re going to teach you to prepare today. Forget about stomach symptoms and prepare this vegetable drink.
Oat milk usually has a distinctive sweet touch achieved with a little sugar. However, you can easily replace it with your favorite sweetener or eliminate it from the recipe for a neutral taste in your drink. The oat flakes must be of natural flavor and you will have to leave it to soak for a few minutes so that it is properly hydrated before blending it.
To get a soft drink without solid traces, we recommend that you strain your oat milk with the help of a colander or thin kitchen towel, and also that you do it more than once, so that any solid residue gets caught in the gauze. The oat pulp that results from straining this drink is quite nutritious and you can take advantage of it in many ways. For example, you can add it to smoothies or shakes, or prepare delicious desserts with it.
