Place your nut milk bag over a large bowl and pour oat blend into bag. Squeeze the bag to strain the milk from the pulp.
Pour the freshly squeezed milk from your bowl back into your blender (this allows for easy transfer into a bottle). Transfer the milk into an air tight bottle and store in the fridge.

Excellent recipe! I soaked the cashews in boiling water for a few hours and followed the instructions. The milk came out delicious and finally not slimy🙏🏻

This is a delicious recipe. The ratio of ingredients was perfect! Thank you for sharing. I did some things that made my batch extra successful imo :) First, I didn't long soak my cashews ( I couldn't wait, I had a hankering, and I wanted my milk asap!)but, I did put them in 1/2 cup of hot water for five minutes. I dropped my scoop of coconut oil in the same soaking liquid to melt it. Then, I divided the remaining cups of water and blended my nuts and oats separately. Blending the nuts for longer turned them into a creamy foam reminiscent of "store-bought" nut milk in the first place. I also found the nut milk bag unnecessary and used a fine mesh strainer. I'm having a cup of this right now. YUM!

Interesting. Tastes good. I like the idea of adding coconut oil. I’ve always done no more than one minute for zero slime. If 30 seconds is possible, I’ll do it!
