    Oat milk. I can make it at home and customize it for 1/10th the price.

      Now this I have to try! Could you talk me through how you do this? Just read a quick article on it: you only blend oats and water, then strain it? Would coffee filters be good for straining?

        I use a metal strainer.

        I had to try out a couple of recipes in order to get one that works well.

        My recipe:

        Oat Milk:

        1. 1 cup oats

        2. 6 cups water (chilled)

        3. 1 tsp vanilla

        • Add all to blender and blend on high for 30-40 seconds
        • Strain with strainer 2x
        • Add maple syrup for flavoring (and/or honey) 3 tbsp

        Keeps for about a week.

        Theres some other similar ones like: https://www.loveandlemons.com/oat-milk/ that work out well and may keep for longer (salt).

          Do you try cooking the oats, or just cold soak?

            I think its quick oats? It just said oats when I bought them but I get them in bulk food or 25 pound bags once a year-ish.
