I soak oats, two dates (for sweetness) and a few cashews (for fat) in cold water for about half hour. I do not rinse, and I add the soak water alternating with the oats. So far, it works well for me.
If you watch here on RUclips Downshiftology on how to make oat milk not slimy there is a tip she explain on how to reduce that slime. I use that tip she explained but I use a different brand capsule. The one she uses is too costly for my pockets. I have experimented on making my oat milk thick & creamy. What I found that works for me is to use cashews. I have tried salted & roasted, completely raw, salted & unroasted, unroasted & salted. What works for me is roasted & unsalted. I like the taste of the milk from that blend better. If I use one cup of oats I would measure a little less than one cup of cashews before soaking it. For an example if I use 1 cup of oats I would measure half or three quarter cup of cashews & soak it. I prefer overnight to create a smoother & creamy texture. It can be soaked for a few hours if you prefer. The longer you let the cashews soak the smoother & creamier it will become. Hope this helps.
I am curious...have you made oat milk before using the cheesecloth method? I suspect that it’s watery because you over rinsed the oats after soaking. After they soak (usually I do it overnight), I strain them and add 4 cups of distilled water like you did. I blend them in a high power blender. Then I use a cheesecloth to strain my milk. It’s so creamy and delicious. I watched because I have a NAMA and I was curious to see the consistency. Thank you for illustrating the difference.
Thank you for your comment. This is my first time making oat milk. I can see your point about rinse the oats after soaking them. Next I will rinse first and then soak. But once I mixed and shaked the oat milk, it was good. Thank for sharing. I will try your suggestion with my Vitamix in the future.
good idea, a blend would help to make it possible to get more oats through the mesh of a cheese cloth or juicer. i tried today and it was watery in my juicer, but still nice with sea salt and a little sweetening. I do not have a blender, so something to save up for. it would mean two appliances requiring cleaning afterwards, but should be worth it for extra thickness. saves money too and far less plastic leaching and waste.
I do not claim to be an expert, but your mix in the bowl may be a 4 to 1 ratio , but what is being scooped into the juicer may not be 4 to 1 ratio. What are your thoughts on this? This may have an impact on the taste.
I really like this woman’s energy frfr
Thank you Jewels. 💚💚💚

Love your videos and your positive energy! You’re the reason my partner and I purchased a Nama! Thank you!
Awe thank you. I hope you and your partner are enjoying y’all’s Nama!

Had no idea you could use a juicer to make oat milk! Gotta try this asap!
Ikr 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So all that washing of the oat isn't that taking out the nutrients
Great question Nervell Alie. If I cooked it but rinsing it was cold is fine.
Yasss girl ! I just got my nama &bought an endless amount of oats & nuts, thanks for the tutorial 🥰 much love
Thank you Maliza ☺️
I think it was watery because you drained out the water that had also turned milky, then you washed the already soaked oats
I want to see the Rotelle recipe using rolled oats
Okay Rebeca, I will see what I can do.
Let's make some "Oat-tel". Rotel with rolled oats lol. Show me the clip!!!!
On some juicers the screen/mesh part can be changed so it has slightly bigger holes. Maybe that is one way to help achieve a thicker milk?
There is another mesh for smoothies so I might try your suggestion next time. Thank you again for sharing.
You can have thicker milk with less water.
i read oats can also be composted. So if there is no need for it in the kitchen, the pulp can be for the garden too.
Thank you for sharing this helpful tip.
