I'm making oat milk like this:

Put 4 tbsp around 40 grams Rolled Oats (without soaking) into blender, then add 1 cup (300 mL) Cold water, then add 1 tbsp canola oil (to help emulsify). Then I blend them. Then I filter is using a cloth.

The result is thin and chalky.

Now how to make the oat milk less chalky? I couldn't find any discussion about this online.

  • We have https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/105905/my-oat-milk-is-too-watery?rq=1. I'm not entirely sure we should consider it a duplicate, since you focused on the chalk part of homemade oat milk and the other asker on the thinness, but yes, that's what homemade oat milk is like - raw starch swimming in water. – rumtscho Apr 15 '20 at 07:35
  • Yea I want to ask about the "chalkiness"... I read that emulsifier such as xanthan gum or lecithin can emulsify / homogenize the water & non-water particle. I think I'm going to buy xanthan gum soon. If anyone has any experience please let me know – Brian Ivander T. P. Apr 15 '20 at 10:12
  • Tell us more about your equipment & process. What kind of blender are you using? A high speed blender like a Vitamix or Ninja will give different results from a standard Oster bar blender or a handheld stick blender. How long do you blend? How fine is the cloth you're straining through? – AMtwo Apr 15 '20 at 12:56
  • I am using ordinary blender, it's Indonesian brand, costs somewhere 15-30 USD. Not as fancy as Vitamix. I basically use hotel laundry bag [like this] (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FThe-Laundress-Hotel-Laundry-Bag%2Fdp%2FB000OR207U&psig=AOvVaw3Z2NDjHx8VcOS9n1TAMM0r&ust=1587042059792000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJC4j8S-6ugCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE) yea I'm using anything I have at home to keep costs down :) – Brian Ivander T.

  • I'd suggest editing your original question with those details. I think they will be valuable to getting a definitive answer. I *think* the lower power/speed blender is the cause. But I don't have experience to offer that as much more than a guess... And don't have any alternatives. – AMtwo Apr 15 '20 at 15:57
  • I'm using a high power blender (Nutribullet) and having the same problem. Did you friend a solution @BrianIvanderT.P. ? – daknowles Feb 17 '21 at 04:26
