Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this Agua de Avena recipe?

The primary ingredient that gives Agua de Avena its signature nutrition and creamy texture is old-fashioned rolled oats. They provide both body and subtle flavor, while the support from cinnamon and vanilla adds aroma and a hint of spice.

Allowing the oats to soak with the cinnamon stick for 10 minutes softens them and infuses flavor. After blending the mixture thoroughly, straining through a fine mesh ensures a clean, silky finish essential for Agua de Avena.

Make sure to soak the oats, blend the mixture until very smooth, and most importantly—strain well using a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. This removes any excess pulp or hull, resulting in a velvety drink.
