Prep:10m
Ready in:1h 10m
Serving:8 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water, divided
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cooking Directions

  1. Combine 5 cups water, quick-cooking oats, and cinnamon stick in a blender; blend until combined, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour the oat mixture through a strainer, collecting the liquids in a pitcher and reserving the solids. Pour remaining water through the strainer containing the solids and into the pitcher. Add sugar and vanilla extract; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Old fashioned oats can be substituted for quick oats, if desired; Most of my family enjoys this beverage with a full 1/2 cup of sugar, but it also tastes great with 1/3 cup for those of us who don't like our drinks too sweet; Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of oats. The actual amount of oats consumed will vary.
