The vegetable drinkss can be a good choice when we want something refreshing and tastier than water, especially in the summer. Prepare our homemade version like this oatmeal drink or water It is very simple, it is much cheaper and we can control the ingredients that we add, customizing it to taste.
It is nothing more than the same technique that we would apply to make homemade tiger nut or almond horchata, but with oat flakes and without adding sugar. Although we already know that this drink can have health benefits, we also we emphasize that it is not miraculousand that it will not be as nutritious as other commercial versions enriched with minerals and vitamins.
In our case we have not added any sweetener to simply enhance the flavor of lemon and cinnamon, adding a light touch of cardamom, but you can add a little date cream, if you have, or some liquid sweeteneralways in moderation.
Vegetable drinks can be made with a Chufamix-type utensil, or simply with a glass or arm blender and a muslin or fine filter cloth.
Arrange the raw oat flakes In the blender jar, add a pinch of salt, a piece of washed lemon rind (only the yellow part) and a little ground cinnamon and cardamom, to taste.
Add the water and blend very well with the blender for a few minutes at high speed, stirring from time to time, until forming a kind of liquefied puree.
Use the mallet to filter the liquid through the specific utensil, or pass through a fine, heavy-duty muslin or strainer over a large bowl.
With what to accompany the oatmeal drink
This drink or homemade oatmeal water must be served very cold to enjoy it better, after a few hours after which it will have taken on more flavor from the aromas used. The water has probably separated a little from the solid concentrate of the cereal, so we will simply have to stir the drink very well before serving it. It is very refreshing and perfect to drink at any time of the day.
