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.
