Instructions:
Prepare the base:
If using nuts, soak them in water overnight to soften them. For oats, this step can be skipped.
Drain the base of your choice and rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
Blend the ingredients:
In a blender, combine the soaked and rinsed nuts or oats with a quart of water, the olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
Strain the mixture:
Use a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or fine-mesh strainer to pour the mixture into a large bowl. Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible.
Flavor and storage:
For additional flavor, you can add a vanilla bean or a pinch of cinnamon. Blend again to thoroughly combine.
Pour the milk into a clean bottle or jar and place in the refrigerator. For best quality, use within five days.
