Rice Milk

For the last 3 years I have been purchasing Rice milk, usually by the case of 12 at least 2-3 times a month. That is about $45 a month. I tired a couple of recipes for rice milk but they were watery and the kids did not like it. I can buy a 50lb bag at Costco for about $10 that will last all year long.

Today, for the first time I made a great rice milk recipe and the children like it. This is an extremely flexible recipe and you just have to taste and go and add the desired water to make the right consistency, enough sugar and vanilla to taste.

Step 1. Cook rice as you normally would. (I love my $15 rice cooker I bought from Walgreens 1 part rice to 2 parts water, press the button and it will let you know when it is done).

Step 2. Scroop rice into a high speed blender with at least twice as much water for 5 minutes. Add approximately twice as much water or until desired thickness is reached.

Step 3. Flavor rice milk-Add desired sweetner, vanilla, cinnamon to create a taste you will enjoy.

Step 4: After 30 minutes or so pour rice milk slowly into another pitcher, there will be a slight amount of sediment on the bottom.

My measurements 2 cups cooked rice "smoothy", filled 2 qt pitcher with water and blended. Add 1/3 cup white sugar and 2 shakes of vanilla powder (alcohol free vanilla, basically pureed vanilla beans).

Enjoy!
