Question:

Did you mix 50/50 steel cut/rolled oats to your oatmilk?

— Jessica Woodward

Answer:

No, I used about a quarter of a cup. Of my steel cut oats, which was pretty firm. I batch cook my oats and then add a little liquid and rewarm them every morning and I started with For a quarter of a cup of the cooked oatmeal I started with a half a cup of water. I kind of looked at it and thought about it and I added a little bit of a little more to my liking I'm gonna stop here and show you some. This is this was so cool. So this is all the milk. Well, four out of the five milks I made this week and then I did something. That I was curious about and it was thrilling to me. So this is an oat milk. You can see how it separated. All I have to do. Is Shake It Up? This is this one. Another one. It's separated. Less. There's no reason for it. I made it a little later. Shake it this. is oatly that I poured into a glass container because you know Everyone of the oat milk every one of the milk containers that you buy say shake shake shake because the solids settle. So I was just curious would that happen with oatly? And it's sure did it settled too. So that's why you shake it. This is an almond milk that I made and didn't especially strain and it was very separated earlier before the live started. So I shook it up. What else is over here? Anything else? No, this is some left coconut milk. This is a half a cup of coconut milk that I had left over from making the cream and it got very firm. In my refrigerator, so that was really fun. I have a lot of milks now.
