This homemade rice milk has a creamy consistency and a mild taste. It is a great plant-based alternative to cow’s milk and can be used in a variety of ways. You can easily make your own rice milk at home with just a few ingredients. You can find a detailed recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Which rice type should I use to make rice milk?
To make rice milk, I used organic long grain white rice, just like for the rice bombs, the hearty rice casserole and the Uzbek plov. Wholegrain rice works just as well. You can also experiment with any other type of rice.
Please note that the cooking time and amount of water specified in the recipe can vary greatly depending on the type of rice.
Consistency from creamy to thin
You can determine the consistency of your homemade rice milk yourself. Depending on how thick you want it to be, use more or less water to thin it, similar to the cauliflower sauce or the mushroom stroganoff.
My rice milk had a fairly creamy consistency. I used 800 ml of water for 100 g of rice. You can simply add more water to the rice milk after blending if it is too thick for you.
Sweetening homemade rice milk
For a slightly sweet taste, I have added a small amount of rice syrup to my homemade rice milk. You can also use agave syrup, dates or normal sugar instead. Puree the dates together with the rice.
Of course, you can make your own rice milk without a sweetener. In this case, leave out the rice syrup in the recipe below.
For coffee, desserts and pastry
You can use homemade rice milk in many different ways. It works perfectly as a vegan milk alternative alongside soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk.
The rice milk tastes delicious in coffee. It is also ideal for muesli.
You can replace cow’s milk with rice milk in recipes to make various desserts or sauces. It is also perfect for baking.
For example, you can use the homemade rice milk in the recipes for the Russian pirog with potatoes and mushrooms, the vegan gravy, the vegan braided Easter bread, the vegan Franzbrötchen or the vegan apple crumble pizza.
