Q & A
Does homemade oat milk froth?
The one thing to remember about homemade oat milk is that it doesn’t froth like store-bought oat milk.
This recipe, as is, with or without the optional ingredients, does not froth. It can get a little bubbly but it doesn’t froth like traditional dairy milk, if you want, for example, to make a latte recipe.
To make frothy homemade oat milk, you would need to blend in other types of non-dairy milk(s) that do froth.
How long does homemade oat milk last?
It lasts up to 5 days in the refrigerator, stored properly, in an air-tight container. (It gets used up much quicker in our household though, lol!)
