Ingredients

 1 cup organic rolled oats
 4 cups water
 4 medjool dates (pitted)
 2 tbsp tahini (or almond butter)

 ¼ tsp ground ginger

 2 pinches salt (optional)
 sesame seeds (for garnish)
 ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Directions

1

Add all of the ingredients, except the sesame seeds and cinnamon garnish, to a high-speed blender.

Start by blending on low then increase speed to high. Blend until smooth or for 1–2 minutes.

3

Taste for additional flavors of choice like cinnamon, salt, or sweetness (see Chef’s Notes below).

4

Strain the milk by adding it to a nut-milk bag or a fine sieve. (Use the remaining oat pulp, if there is any, in your morning oatmeal!)

5

Pour milk into a 32-ounce mason jar or two 16-ounce jars. Use within 5 days.

Enjoy this milk warm: Heat eight ounces of oat milk (or more, if desired) in a small stovetop pan over medium heat. Once hot (not boiling), turn off the heat and pour into your favorite mug. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a dash of cinnamon.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use your favorite nut or seed butter in place of the tahini.

Make it creamier
Use one less cup of water.

Add more nutrition
Add your favorite adaptogen powder like maca, mushroom, or ashwagandha.

Add matcha powder to make a matcha tea latte.

Storage
Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
