oat milk

Vegan latte base

Oat milk is a plant-based milk alternative made by blending oats with water and straining the mixture.

It has a slightly sweet, creamy taste that works well in coffee drinks, where it froths better than most nondairy options: I'll have a latte with oat milk.

Popular among vegans and the lactose-intolerant, it became a café staple in the 2010s.
