Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instruction

  • Bring the oats, 1 cup of water and the salt to boil and proceed to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Meanwhile combine the maple syrup and the almonds and cook until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat immediately, straining the almonds from the syrup and setting both the syrup and the almonds aside.
  • In a food processor or blender, blend the cooked oats with 2 cups of fresh water until very smooth. Strain through a fine sieve and you will have oat milk. It reminded me of thin glue, but I embraced it. You can do whatever you like with the strained ground oats... such as adding them to bread, hot cereal and so on. You might even like them in this sorbet.
  • Bring the oat milk and the maple syrup to a simmer, whisking all the while. Remove from heat.
  • Stir the almonds and the optional almond extract into the liquids, let cool and then freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
