Homemade rice milk
The 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. With just a few ingredients, you can easily make your own rice milk at home with this recipe.
Servings 1 l
Equipment
- straining cloth
Ingredients
- 100 g long grain rice
- approx. 800 ml lukewarm water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp rice syrup alternatively
- 1 tsp ground vanilla bean alternatively
- 200 ml water for cooking rice
Instructions
- Wash long grain rice thoroughly, put it in a saucepan with 200 ml water and cook for 20 minutes (or according to the instructions on the packet).
- Leave the rice to cool to lukewarm and then put it in a blender.
- Add 800 ml water, salt, if using rice syrup and vanilla to the rice and blend until smooth.
- Pour the rice milk through a straining cloth as required and pour into sealable glass bottles.
- Depending on the desired consistency, you can dilute the rice milk with more water.
- Leave the rice milk to cool and store in the fridge.
- Shake the glass bottle with the rice milk before use.
Notes
- Cook your rice according to the packet instructions. My long grain rice had to be cooked in double the amount of water for 20 minutes.
- If the rice has not absorbed all the water after cooking, leave it to swell briefly and then pour off the excess water.
- Ground vanilla bean gives my homemade rice milk a slightly darker color.
- Instead of rice syrup, you can use dates, agave syrup or sugar to sweeten it. Alternatively, you can use no sweetener at all.
