    Ingredients

    • 1 cup rolled oats

    • 4 cups water

    • 1 c innamon stick (or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

    • 2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or sugar (adjust to taste)

    • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

    • Ice cubes (for serving)

    Directions

    • Rinse the oats under cold water to remove excess starch.
    • In a large bowl, soak the oats with 2 cups of water and the cinnamon stick for at least 1 hour (or skip soaking for a quicker version).
    • Blend the soaked oats, cinnamon, and remaining 2 cups of water until smooth.
    • Strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the oat pulp.
    • Stir in vanilla extract (if using), sweetener, and milk. Mix well.
    • Serve over ice and enjoy chilled.
    • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, shaking before serving.

    Notes

    • Soaking the oats improves texture and makes them easier to blend.
    • Adjust the sweetness to your preference or use natural sweeteners like dates.
