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?

    For everyone who likes oat milk in their coffee and saving money:

    • 4 cups water
    • 1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats, not steel cut oats)
    • (optional) a couple of de-seeded dates

    Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds

    Filter that through a clean (no fabric softener) towel.

    If you want creamier texture, add 1/4 cup less water.

    The remaining oats and date pulp can be eaten if you are really frugal. Just heat it up and add whatever else you want.

    Use your new oat milk in a home made mug of coffee.

      I was so intrigued I tried your recipe right away. My kitchen towel immediately clogged and I had to wring the fluid out with considerable force. Do you have a workaround for that or recommendations for towels to use?

      I can’t see the words “rolled oats” without reading it like Ludacris.

      What in the world is in that bowl, what you got in that bowl?

      Plus this oat milk is actually good, unlike what some people have experienced with store bought oat milk.
