How to Make Atholl Brose

Combine 1 cup of rolled oats with 2 cups of water in a bowl. Stir to create a thick paste.
Let the oat mixture stand for 1 hour to allow the oats to absorb the water.
Carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl.
Use the back of a spoon to press firmly against the oat solids, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining oat pulp.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the strained oat liquid with 1/2 cup of honey until well combined.
Gently pour the honey-oat mixture into a quart-sized bottle.
Fill the bottle to the top with your favorite Scotch whisky.
Securely cork the bottle. Shake well before serving. Enjoy responsibly!
