I do not like oat milk.
I can’t drink regular milk, milk fat intolerance not lactose if you’re wondering, so I only drink skim milk. In a pinch I can have small amounts of regular milk/dairy but not much. Make my latte with it, I’ll survive, but I will need to avoid dairy for the rest of the day.
I’ve tried other milk alternatives in the past, but don’t like any for flavour reasons or consistency issues.
At this point I just like my milk to be blue water (have you ever noticed that skim milk looks like that?).
This evening I ordered a London Fog with skim milk at the Tim Hortons’ drive thru. When I got to the window though they had realized they had no skim milk, so they offered me regular, almond or oat.
Knowing I couldn’t have regular milk and I dislike the flavour of almond milk I said they could use oat milk.
The moment I took a sip I knew I didn’t like it. I put it aside for a bit, then remembered it was there and reheated it a little. This did not help. I took another sip but no. The consistency was wrong, the flavour was not right, over all the oat milk had ruined the tea. It tasted like what I imagine a warm edible oil product would, too sweet, too oily and too much. Even my lips felt oily like after you have cheap whipcream on dessert.
Bleh. I poured it down the drain and rinsed my mouth with water (regular, not blue).
Today I learned I do not like oat milk.
And that in future if there is no skim milk, I only want black tea, no milk alternatives.
