Controversy over raw milk reflects the push-pull the Trump administration faces in rolling back regulations and offering consumers more choices. For now, the CDC still recommends against consuming raw milk and the FDA bans its interstate sale.
Thanks for the tip on making this. We typically have almond milk in the fridge as it’s easy to find, but it sure is not cheap. Maybe taking a stab at making oat milk to taste might be a fun experiment.
We don’t really have any milk in our fridge except for the very rare recipe. Our house is vegetarian, nearly vegan. I don’t really consume almond milk directly if you will - I drink my coffee black - I’ll use it with the rare bowl of cereal I might have. Now I’m wondering how homemade oat milk might work out.
I’ve never been a big fan of milk anyway - and that extends to alternatives - and same with the rest of my family, so even something tasty is probably not going to get used up very quickly ( a half gallon of almond milk will often be in our fridge for 2 weeks or more ) - how long will this keep?
This will not last super long unfortunately, since it’s not pasteurized. Your best bet is to treat it like fresh orange juice.
Using it for cereal, you’ll want to get the brewer enzymes. Oats have a carbohydrate in them that gets gloopy after a not long time without them. In coffee or tea it’s less noticeable because of the stiring, but cereal I fear might be lessened.
I’m not personally vegan, but lactose is mean to me. Trying to make a lactose free ice cream led me to find that the vegan community has suitable ice creams, but a lot of them feel like a compromise, so the challenge of it became the focus of the science-ing I went down.
As a result it’s best suited to making ice cream and popsicles (needs tweaking for that purpose), and alone is more of a cream consistency. For a usable quantity for cereal, you might cut the oats in half-ish (5-7% of water weight), reduce the oil to no more than 10g/1% and keep the gums the same. The recipe scales well, so you can make a half liter just as well. Although with how cheap oats are it’s almost not worth it to bother.
