BROWN RICE PUDDING WITH COCONUT MILK
From healthycooking.com. with a few modifications and substitutions. Both crock pot and oven cooking methods are given. Other dried fruit can be substituted such as dried dates, figs, raisins, etc. Depending on how rich you want the pudding, half and half or heavy cream can be substituted for all or part of the regular milk. (But then it wouldn't be healthy, would it? ;) )

Simple, easy and very inexpensive, this is better than the store bought stuff, in my opinion. Adapted from The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook to suit our tastes.

Steps:
- Put the rice, 8 cups of water and salt into a large pot. Bring the water to a steady boil using high heat.
- After boiling, reduce temperature to low and simmer for approximately three hours, or until the rice is mushy and falling apart. I often leave this on my stove for 4 or more hours with no negative side effects. **Note: Leave the lid on for the entire cooking process. You don't want the water to evaporate and then all you're left with is mushy rice.
- Let the liquid cool somewhat before adding it to a blender. Add any optional ingredients and puree several minutes until rice has become completely liquid. I usually strain the bigger pieces out of the liquid first before running it through the blender.
- Transfer to a large container, and add 1 cup or more of water to thin out the consistency a bit if you like your rice milk that way.
- Keep refrigerated and stir before each use. Unsure as to how long this keeps in the fridge, but we've used it up to a week after making it and it still tastes wonderful.

DATE SMOOTHIE WITH BROWN RICE AND ALMOND MILK
This is inspired by Bryant Terry's recipe for date-sweetened almond milk, which I came across in his wonderful cookbook "Afro-Vegan." You could use commercial almond milk, but it will taste much richer if you make your own. Blanch and skin almonds (it goes quickly), soak overnight, blend and strain. The smoothie is a simple one, subtly sweetened by the dates, and mildly nutty. If you want to introduce another flavor into the mix add a half banana. I liked it both ways but I think I prefer the simpler version, so I have made the banana optional.

HOW TO MAKE BROWN RICE MILK
This originated in Japan, where rice is abundant(although made throughout Africa, Mexico and other countries too). Rice milk is a grain milk made by processing rice. You probably already have the ingredients at home, it's super inexpensive- just a fraction of the price that rice milk sells for at stores! From the Happy Herbivore.

Steps:
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
- Add rice and bring to a boil again. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 40 minutes.
- The rice will be soft and waterlogged; drain off any excess water if necessary.
- Transfer rice to a blender and add 2 cups of warm water.
- Blend until well incorporated, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add another 1 cup of warm water and blend again. If you prefer an even thinner non-dairy milk, add another 1/2 to 1 cup of warm water and blend again.
- Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, drape cheesecloth over the top of a pitcher or storage container and secure it around with a rubber band. Make sure the cheesecloth drapes down into the container and is not tightly fashioned straight across, as it needs to act as a strainer.
- After 30 minutes, use a spoon to scoop any residue off the top of your milk mixture (usually a thin film forms during the cooling process). Once that is removed, slowly pour the milk into the container through the cheesecoth. Be sure not to pour all the bits that have collected at the bottom.
- Optional: Add a few drops of vanilla extract and/or sweetener to taste.

BROWN RICE MILK
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Place rice, 8 cups water, salt, and kelp in pan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer 3 hours, or until rice is very soft. (You can also do this in a crockpot overnight.) In blender, puree rice mixture with remaining ingredients. You will have to do it in two batches. Puree each batch at least 2 or 3 minutes to completely liquefy the rice. Add more water if a thinner consistency is desired. Keep refrigerated. Yield: About 6 cups
Tips:
- For a creamier rice milk, soak the rice for at least 4 hours or overnight before blending.
- Use filtered or spring water for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can soak the rice for longer (up to 24 hours) and then blend it in a regular blender.
- Sweeten the rice milk to your taste with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
- Flavor the rice milk with vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg for a delicious twist.
- Store the rice milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Making brown rice milk at home is a simple and affordable way to enjoy a delicious and nutritious plant-based milk. With just a few ingredients and a blender, you can create a creamy, flavorful milk that is perfect for drinking, cooking, and baking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and sustainable milk alternative, give brown rice milk a try! It's sure to become a new favorite in your kitchen.
