Ingredients
-
8 cups water, divided

1 cup quick-cooking oats

½ cup white sugar
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
-
Combine 5 cups water, quick-cooking oats, and cinnamon stick in a blender; blend until combined, about 1 minute.

Cook’s Note
You can substitute old-fashioned oats for quick oats if desired.
Most of my family enjoys this beverage with a full 1/2 cup sugar, but it also tastes great with 1/3 cup for those who don't like drinks too sweet.
