Place the oats, ice water, and salt in a large blender. Blend for 30 seconds.
2 cups old-fashioned oats, 6 cups ice water, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Add the maple syrup and vanilla (if using) and blend again for 10-15 seconds to incorporate.
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl. Discard the pulp and strain the milk through the sieve again, into a large mason jar or pitcher.
Use immediately or seal the container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of oat milk. The recipe is easily doubled.

Rolled, old-fashioned oats are best. Avoid quick-cooking or instant oats, which can lead to slimy oat milk. To ensure this oat milk is gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats.
Be sure to use iced water for this recipe for the best results.
If you don't have a large blender, you can blend it in batches in a smaller one.

Storage: Store oat milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
