Another surprisingly refreshing drink I came across in Mexico was agua de avena, or oatmeal water. I expected something similar to a horchata, but it wasn't milky at all - it was closer to a lime-aide and really delicious. The oatmeal gives it a really hearty character, which in turn is mellowed by a bit of sugar, then made refreshing with lime juice. What's more is that between the oatmeal and the lime juice, you're getting a nice bit of nutrition too.
You will need:
2oz / 57g / 1/2C rolled oats
1/2C sugar (or to taste)
1qt / 1L water
1 lime (or to taste)
Method:
- bring the sugar and water up to a boil
- drop in the oats, cover and let sit for an hour
- strain
- chill completely
- serve with fresh lie juice
