What is Oat drink?
Oat drink is a plant-based alternative to dairy, usually made by blending oats with water and straining the mixture. Packaged versions may include other ingredients to adjust their texture or taste, and some are fortified with vitamins and minerals.
Its mild, cereal-like flavour works well in coffee, tea and breakfast cereal, and it can also be poured into smoothies or used in cooking. It is relatively low in protein compared with dairy milk, with 1 g per 100 g. Choose an unsweetened version if you prefer less sweetness, and shake the carton before pouring, as the contents can settle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oat drink
What is oat drink made of?
Oat drink is made by blending oats with water and straining the mixture. Packaged versions may also contain oil, salt, stabilisers, or added vitamins, so the ingredient list varies by brand and by whether it is a barista-style product.
Why does oat drink curdle in coffee?
Oat drink can curdle when it meets very hot, acidic coffee, especially if it is poured in quickly. Let the coffee cool slightly, warm the drink gently, and pour it in slowly; a barista-style version is formulated to handle coffee better.
What is the difference between barista oat drink and regular oat drink?
Barista oat drink is formulated to steam and foam more reliably in coffee and is less likely to split. It often has a different fat content or added stabilisers, so it may taste richer than a standard oat drink.
How do you make oat drink at home?
Blend oats briefly with cold water, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve or clean cloth. Avoid blending for too long, which can make homemade oat drink slimy. Keep it refrigerated and use it within a few days.
Does oat drink contain added sugar?
Some oat drinks contain added sugar and others do not. Choose an unsweetened version if you want to avoid added sweeteners, and remember that processing oats can create naturally occurring sugars even in products with no sugar added.
How long does oat drink last after opening?
Once opened, oat drink should be refrigerated and used within the time stated on its package. Discard it if it develops an off smell, unusual lumps, or a swollen carton; shelf life after opening varies between products.
Can you use oat drink in tea?
Yes, oat drink can be added to tea, though very hot or strongly brewed tea may change its flavour or cause separation. Try a small amount first, and let the tea cool slightly before adding the drink for a smoother cup.
Can oat drink replace milk in baking?
Yes, oat drink usually works in cakes, pancakes, and many other recipes in place of dairy milk. Choose an unsweetened version to avoid changing the flavour; in custards or other recipes that rely on milk for thickness, the result may differ.
Can you freeze oat drink?
Yes, oat drink can be frozen, but it may separate or turn grainy after thawing. Freeze it in small portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and shake or blend it before use; freshly opened oat drink usually works better in coffee.
Does oat drink foam for cappuccinos?
Barista oat drink usually foams well enough for cappuccinos, while standard oat drink may produce less stable foam. Start with it cold, use a steam wand or milk frother, and avoid overheating it, which can weaken the foam and affect the taste.
