Following two persons advice, I’ve got some oat milk to put in my coffee. They both said they prefer it to milk.

I thought it was too watery. I wonder if the grain juice I got wasn’t very good. It’s “Planet Oat” oat milk original unsweetened. It barely adds any color, texture or taste to the coffee.

So, coffee drinkers: do you like your bean tea with oat juice? If so, is it supposed to be that watered down? If not, what brand of grain juice do you prefer?

    I make my own cold brew concentrate and oat milk, and then use the oat milk in place of a third or so of the water. It doesn’t really end up watery, and you can adjust the flavor by tinkering with the oat milk recipe. I prefer it to dairy milk because it is cheaper, lasts longer in the fridge, and causes less suffering to dairy cows (I still consume dairy, I just substitute when possible).

        I made a Cara Cara simple this spring that I mix in and it is awesome. I squeezed three Cara Caras and simmered the juice, the rinds, a cup of water and a cup of sugar for about 30 minutes, then I add a bit to my oat milk cold brew lattes for a lil citrusy splash.

        I made a super slimy batch one time when I got interrupted for about ten minutes after I blended the oats but before I strained the oat milk. But I will warn you, I found the resulting product pretty undrinkable.
