Homemade Plant-Based Milk

1. Combine oats, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl and cover with 2 cups filtered water. Allow to soak in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

2. Remove from the refrigerator and add flax seeds. Let stand so flax seeds react with the water and mixture comes to room temperature, about 1 hour.

3. Transfer to a blender and blend until creamy. Let rest for 5 minutes. Add remaining 2 cups filtered water. Blend until well combined, smooth, and creamy. Strain the pulp through a fine-mesh sieve. Enjoy right away or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Shake well before use.

Cook's Note:

Do not discard the pulp. It can be used in your favorite smoothie recipes or even in baking. Use the pulp in place of the equal amount of flour in muffins, waffles, or pancakes, for example.
