Question:

I have made oat milk several times in different ways and a slimy goo has consistently been the result. Any tips?

— Dana Mcfarlane

Answer:

You know, when I was preparing this live event, I was trying to think of how not to use the word slimy and goo. And so I said viscous and I said pasty. But actually it is kind of slimy. Dana, have you tried, uh, tried using what I said earlier was oat absolute ice water, ice water oats. Don't soak the oats, put the ice water into your blender. It's best to have a high speed blender 'cause you want this to happen quickly put the oats in and blend immediately for not more than 30, 35 seconds. And then strain. Dana, you're gonna find the specifics in the event document here.
