Article SummaryX
Oatmeal water is a delicious, creamy drink that’s also full of healthful vitamins, minerals, and fiber. To make it, soak a cup of rolled oats and a cinnamon stick in 1 cup of water for 20 minutes. Put the soggy oat and cinnamon mixture in a food processor or blender with a can of evaporated milk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and half a gallon of water. Blend the mixture until you get a smooth, creamy liquid, then pour it through a strainer to remove any chunks of oat or cinnamon. If you want a slightly sweeter beverage, add enough sugar, honey, or another sweetener to get the flavor you want. For tips on how to improve your health with oatmeal water, keep reading!
