More on rice milk

[Guest guest]

Some people prefer plain rice milk, while others like to add a little flavoring and/or sweetener such as vanilla, chocolate, honey, sugar, or cinnamon and other spices.

Using sweeter rice or mixing different types of rice together also varies the flavor of your rice milk. Brown rice, for example, produces a nuttier flavor than white rice. Because only the hull is removed during the processing of brown rice, it also has more fiber, vitamins and minerals than white rice..

Sweeteners: Try rice syrup, date syrup - or raw honey. Recipes: i think rice milk in rice pudding is ideal add some nutmeg... i use rice milk in recipes for cakes and biscuits where milk is called for.. Other milks: Oat milk, Hazelnut milk, Almond Milk, Quinoa Milk

...Many people add 1-2 tablespoon of flax or sesame seeds with the rice, or even substitute half of the rice for almonds or other nuts, for a wonderful flavor and increased nutrition

Here is a basic recipe

Rice Milk

Ingredients

4 cups hot/warm water

1 cup cooked rice (I've used white or brown)

1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Let the milk set for about 30 minutes, then without shaking pour the milk into another container ( i use an old honey jar) leaving most of the sediment in the first container. This makes about 4 - 4 1/2 cups.

Notes: When I have used cold water and the rice was taken out of the refrigerator, it just doesn't come out that well. I don't know why but its best to use warm water and warm rice (you can nuke it if its leftovers but freshly made is best) I have even let it set longer than 30 minutes (overnight) without it making a difference

These are the modifications I have used: 2 c. hot/warm water 1 c. cooked brown rice, 1/2 c. cashews or almonds(cashews is creamier) 1/2 tsp. seasalt, 4 Tbls. honey. Blend all until smooth. pour into large bowl and then add 4 additional cups of warm water. Stir and strain through a jelly strainer(purchased from Walmart). The pulp can be used in veggie casseroles or put in cereals while cooking , such as oatmeal or cream of wheat.
