Oat Milk
Alternative milks do not just have to be for those who are sensitive
to dairy. They each offer different health benefits and are a breeze
to make in the Cuisinart
®
blender. On top of that, they are much
less expensive to make at home than to purchase in the store,
especially oat and rice milks. You can sweeten them as you wish,
or even add a pinch of cinnamon. The only caveat is that
homemade milks do not last as long in the refrigerator as their
store-bought counterparts since there are no stabilizers added.
Makes about 3 cups
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
4 cups water, divided
Pinch kosher salt
1. Put the oats and 2 cups of the water into a mixing bowl and
cover. Allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to
overnight. Do not refrigerate. After resting, drain and rinse the
oats very well.
2. Put 2 cups of fresh water, the soaked, drained oats and a pinch
of salt into the blender jar.
3. Select High and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Use immediately. The oat milk will last up to 3 days, refrigerated.
Shake, stir or re-blend before using.

Rice Milk
Be sure to use brown rice for the greatest health benefits. Rice milk
has the most neutral flavor of the alternative milks that we provide
in this recipe book, so if you are looking for a liquid that has more
flavor than water and a bit more body, choose rice milk.
Makes about 4 cups
4 cups water
1 cup cooked and cooled brown rice (any size variety
works, i.e., short, medium or long grain)
1 tablespoon sweetener (optional)
1. Put the water, rice and sweetener, if using, into the blender jar.
2. Select High and blend until completely smooth, about 3 minutes.
3. Use immediately. The rice milk will last up to 3 days,
refrigerated. Shake, stir or re-blend before using.
