Chicha de Avena (Oat Beverage) image

A mild, sweet, oat drink popular in Panama and other Latin American countries. A childhood favorite of mine. You can leave this as is or, for creamier texture, blend with immersion blender before or after chilling.

I would not recommend this recipe. The avena drink was bland and watery.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping it would be.

I had some trouble getting the avena drink to thicken. I think I might have used too much water.

This recipe is a little too sweet for me. I think I'll try it again with less honey next time.

This avena drink is a great alternative to coffee or tea. It's caffeine-free and it's still just as flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover oats. I always have oats on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
