Almond-Oat Milk
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup oat straw
10 cups of water
(Editor’s Note: I didn’t mention my oatstraw is a mix of straw and milky oat tops. I mix four ounces oatstraw and four ounces milky oat tops together and use it when oatstraw is being used for nutritional purposes.)
Grind almonds, oats water in a blender (immersion blenders are handy for this) and place into a large saucepan. Add oatstraw to mixture (you can also add astragalus and cinnamon but that is optional) and bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 40 minutes, strain, and refrigerate.
This is a thick liquid as it brings out the mucilage from the oats. It works best in smoothies and baking although I like it warm over granola.
