Notes

To make this milk gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and use maple syrup or rice malt syrup for the sweetener. This is my preferred water ratio. You may need to experiment - add more water for a less creamy milk or less water for a more creamy milk. You can start with 3 cups and add water to the milk after straining if you find it too creamy.
