How to make Agua de horchata with oats:
- To start with the oatmeal horchata water, heat half a liter of water and soak the oats, preferably overnight or for at least four hours. Put the soaked oats together with the soaking water in the blender glass. Also add the condensed milk, the evaporated milk, the homemade vanilla extract, the cinnamon and half a liter of water more. Mix everything well with the mixer or blender.
- Strain the oatmeal horchata water with a fine mesh strainer to remove the remains of oats that have not been crushed.
- Trick: Do not throw away the oatmeal remains, use them to accompany a yogurt or as an ingredient in a cake.
- Once strained, add the remaining liter of water, stir and taste test. Now is the time to add more cinnamon or more water if you find it too sweet, although you will be able to better assess whether or not to add more water when it is cold.
- Once your horchata water with homemade oats is prepared, it is time to bottle it. With the help of a funnel, put the water in glass bottles and store in the fridge until it cools down well and you can enjoy it.
- You can serve the oatmeal horchata water with ice, with a little cinnamon on top or as it is. By taking evaporated milk, it can be kept for no more than 4 days and you should always keep it in the fridge.
