just a mere cat 😷 #LütziLebt :vegan:<p>Based on science (see above toot), I concluded that you can make <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oat</span></a> milk using diastatic <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/malt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malt</span></a> (aka. active baker's malt), since malt naturally contains the enzyme <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/amylase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amylase</span></a>, which breaks down starches into sugars. While <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/sprouting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sprouting</span></a>, the berries produce this enzyme to digest the starches.</p><p>Producing malt from cereal berries is easy and doesn't require special equipment, but it takes some time. However, you don't need a lot of malt, so you don't need to do this often.</p><p>- Sprout some cereal berries. You don't need one of these fancy sprouting glasses -- a nutbag or muslin cloth (which you need to make plant milks anyway) is all you need; you'll find instructions online. Sprouting takes a few (3-5) days, so plan ahead.<br>- Spread the sprouts on a baking tray and bake them at 50-60 °C (= 122-140 °F) until the grains are completely dry.<br>- Pour the flour into a box and keep it in a fridge.</p><p>Traditionally, malt is made using <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/barley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barley</span></a> (which contains a lot of amylase), but you can also make it with other grains. For <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oats</span></a>, however, you need to use "naked oats".</p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oatMilk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oatMilk</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oatDrink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oatDrink</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recipe</span></a></p>
