we use it alot and I happen to come across this recipe looking for homemade rice milk ice cream...
Make your own rice milk. It’s easy, cheap and you can adjust the sugar
and add flavourings as per your preferences (ie: use frozen strawberries to make strawberry ‘milkshakes’!). You can use this rice milk with frozen bananas to make a sort of ice-cream like treat too. We really didn’t like the price for commercially prepared rice milk and after the info came on the list that one of these commercial products was not
necessarily gluten free (the one we used to use) we came up with this recipe:
RICE MILK (you’ll need a blender)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup dry white rice
1 litre (~ 4 cups) water
1 tbsp (up to 1/2 cup) white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
How it is done
Add rice and water, let soak room temperature for at least 4 hours or in the refrigerate over night (we put rice n’ water right into the blender container!)
Blend rice and water in blender on high for about 1 minute
Strain out rice from water (SAVING WATER SOLUTION!)
Add sugar and flavourings (ie. fruit), blend again
Refrigerate (we’re comfortable using this within 48 hours; maybe a longer shelf life, we don’t know, never tried!)
can't wait to try this!!! :) I have my rice soaking now, next time I might try it with brown rice.
