Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 4 cups water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or preferred sweetener)
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the rolled oats in a medium-sized bowl and cover with 2 cups of water. Allow the oats to soak for at least 30 minutes to become soft and plump.

Step 2

After soaking, drain the oats and rinse them well under cold water to remove any excess starch.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the rinsed oats with the remaining 2 cups of water. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the blended oat mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a nut milk bag into a large saucepan to remove the solids. Discard the oat pulp or save it for another use.

Step 5

Add the cinnamon stick to the saucepan and heat the liquid over medium heat. Stir occasionally, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes to infuse the cinnamon flavor.

Step 6

Remove the cinnamon stick and add the vanilla extract, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.

Step 7

Chill the bebida de avena in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or serve immediately over ice for a refreshing drink.

Step 8

Stir well before serving and enjoy your homemade bebida de avena!
