What each ingredient does
- Oatmeal
- Releases starch and soluble fibre into the water, giving the strained liquid body and a mild oat flavour.
The step that matters
Strain thoroughly through a thick napkin. Any remaining solid particles will make the liquid gritty and cloudy. A thick, tightly woven cloth traps fine oat particles that a loose strainer lets through, so the final liquid is smooth.
