Easy Breezy Rice Milk Food

TASTY RICE MILK

Steps:

• bring cooked rice, 2 cups water, and salt to boil, then reduce to simmer for 25 minutes.
• add honey while the rice/water is still hot.
• blend above mixture on high until it's smooth.
• add vanilla, oil and 2 cups of water/ice and blend again.
• pour this mixture through a fine sieve or cheese cloth to remove rice particles.
• place mixture into a container with 2 more cups of water/ice.
• shake well for each use.

BROWN RICE MILK

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.

HOW TO MAKE BROWN RICE MILK

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.
