The first thing we need to do to prepare oatmeal water is liquefy or beat the flakes with a little water. Use enough water to cover the flakes, reserve the rest for later.

The best practice is to use a blender or mixer to grind the oats well, just as we would for preparing oat milk.

When you have the fine crushed oats, take a pot or saucepan, pour in the remaining water, add oats and put everything to a boil. When you reach boiling point, leave it for five minutes off the fire. If you've decided to flavour your oatmeal water also add to the pot one or two cinnamon sticks before it comes to boil.

can you use steel cut oatmeal, for oatmeal water .
Jane Bertin (oneHOWTO editor)
Steel cut oats are a bit tougher and chewier and take more time to cook, so ideally rolled oats are better to make oatmeal water. If you try it, though, please tell us the results!

I been drinking it for 2 weeks now I luv it but I have noticed I been very gassy an my stomach hurts a bit is these normal
Alice T Breeze (oneHOWTO editor)
Are you taking it with milk too? Milk can produce gases, but your stomach shouldn't hurt. Try reducing to one cup a day. Another possibility is that you are intolerant. You should consult a doctor if the problem persists. Hope this is helpful

Norma, that is normal for some people. You have to soak it 24 hours at room temperature or sprout it. Google it, you will fell so better.

Are you supposed to refrigerate it while it's still warm
OneHowTo Editor
Hi!
You should always let food cool down slightly before putting it in the fridge, as the contrast in temperature can affect the food.

After the whole process do you refrigarate the rest for the week??? Do you drink it 2x a day or can you drink during the entire day??

Hi Judith, Thanks for your question, we recommend that you only drink a glass of oat water morning on an empty stomach, and another in the afternoon. The oat water will last up to a week, so take it within this time period. I hope this helps!
