I made oatmilk and gave myself a facial with the pulp

I don't know what it is with me and oats lately...
















Oatmeal Milk

1 cup of rolled oats
4 cups filtered water, save half a cup for rinsing the blender carafe
turbinado sugar

Put oats and water in the blender, blend for at least five minutes.

Strain with a fine strainer add sugar to taste.

I taste tested this on some commercial cereal* and it was passable. I would add more sugar before serving it to anyone else.

Nonetheless, it was cheap and easy. I would recommend it. I will test it on the boy tonight if he's willing.

The pulp could have many uses, I suppose. You could heat and eat it as cereal, it still had a lot of oat-y flavor. It could be used in cookies. I could be a creamy, fiber filled addition to a smoothie, or you could fashion a meat substitute with it!

I used some for an oatmeal facial.















Fun stuff. That is me with oats on my face.
