The oat milk infuriates me. I make it at home and it costs next to nothing almond milk I understand but oat milk should be much cheaper
Most Canadian oat/almond/soy milk substitutes are filled with carrageenan, xantham gum and guar gum. The ones that aren't, like Earth's Own Naked Oat are double the price of the others, exceeding the price of milk.
I've discovered that I can buy local, unhomogenized milk in my city that comes in glass instead of plastic or PFAS lined cardboard. The price is $5/bottle but the taste is miles above the cartel milk or the substitutes, and oddly doesn't trigger my mild lactose intolerance either.
A neighboring town has a creamery and their milk is famous around here, it's so delicious and wholesome. Plus you can turn the glasses back in for a $2 rebate on the next bottle
Do you have instructions on how to make it?

That oat milk is more expensive than cow milk always seemed like "virtue pricing". An acre of oats makes more oat milk than an acre of dairy cow feed makes cow milk.
More like "novelty pricing" IMO. Pay a premium to drink the exotic milk of the day.
Oat milk is just oatmeal in disguise, it's as cheap as they come. The sad thing is that as overpriced as it is, as fake milks go, it's pretty much the best! My ex drinks it because she's lactose intolerant, and unlike almond or soy it's actually palatable IMO.
Real Asian style fresh soy milk is excellent btw because it doesn't pretend to be cow milk. It's more like a hot creamy bean soup. Makes a great breakfast, if you happen to be in Taiwan
Thanks!
Is it good when you make it at home? I drink oat or Next Milk generally, and like it a lot, but if I could just milk my own oats....

Do you use this recipe?
Yes, I make a batch for myself once a week. You just gotta follow the process and it takes like 5 minutes.
Nice, thanks
I think it's cause almonds are grown in places like California where there is drought, and almonds require a shit ton of water to grow
