Place oats and water in a high speed blender and puree for 30-45 seconds or until oats are almost pulverized (it’s ok if small pieces of oats remain). If milk isn’t sweet enough add another pitted date or maple syrup to taste and puree an additional 15 seconds.
Place a white tee shirt or kitchen towel over a pitcher or bowl and slowly pour mixture in. Squeeze the tee shirt or towel to squeeze out as much oat milk as possible.
Store in a covered container for up to 5 days.
