HOW TO MAKE RICE MILK

How to Make Rice Milk image

A quick and easy 2-ingredient way to make homemade rice milk! Naturally creamy and sweet, and perfect for smoothies, granola, and more!

Categories Beverage

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked long grain white rice*
4 cups water ((use less water for thicker, creamier milk!))
1 pinch salt
1 whole date, pitted ((optional // for sweetness // or 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup))
1/2 tsp vanilla extract ((optional))
2 Tbsp cocoa or cacao powder for "chocolate milk" ((optional))
1/4 cup fresh berries for "berry milk" ((optional))

Steps:

Soak rice in 2 cups (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) very hot (not boiling water) for 2 hours. The rice should be soft but still very raw - you should be able to snap a piece in half with your fingernail without much effort. Drain and add to a high-speed blender.
Add water, salt, and any additional add-ins (optional). Top with lid and cover with a towel to ensure it doesn't splash. Blend for about 1 minute until the date specks are very small and the mixture seems well combined. It doesn't have to be 100% pulverized.
Scoop out a small sample with a spoon to test sweetness. If it's not sweet enough, add more dates.
Pour the mixture over a large mixing bowl or pitcher covered with a thin towel, clean T-shirt, or very tightly woven nut milk bag. In my experience, it benefits from a double strain. Some nut milk bags let too much residue through.
Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days (sometimes more). Great for use in things like smoothies, granola, vegan cheese sauces, and baked goods!

Categories Beverages

Time 2h20m

Yield 20 oz, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

4 cups water
1/2 cup uncooked rice (white or brown may be used) or 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown may be used)
1 vanilla beans or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Cook rice, vanilla bean or extract and water until very soft.
Let cool, remove vanilla bean (if using) and put mixture into blender or food processor.
Blend until very smooth.
Let stand for at least 45 minutes, then strain through cheese cloth.
Voila! Rice milk!

Tips for Making Rice Milk:

Use the right rice: Short-grain rice like Japanese rice or sushi rice produces the creamiest milk.
Soak the rice before blending: Soaking the rice for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight helps release starch and results in a smoother milk.
Use a high-powered blender: A powerful blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec will break down the rice grains more effectively, resulting in a smoother milk.
Add water gradually: Start with a small amount of water and gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency.
Strain the milk: Straining the milk through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth will remove any remaining rice particles.
Sweeten to taste: If desired, you can sweeten the rice milk with sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
Flavor the milk: You can also flavor the rice milk with vanilla extract, cinnamon, or other spices.
Store the milk properly: Rice milk can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Making rice milk at home is a simple and rewarding process. With just a few ingredients and a blender, you can create a delicious and nutritious alternative to dairy milk. Rice milk is a good source of carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins, and it is also lactose-free and cholesterol-free. Whether you are looking for a dairy-free milk option or simply want to try something new, rice milk is a great choice.
