I had hoped to follow the soy milk tutorial with a photo journey through making rice milk for the first time- complete failure! I’ve never had rice milk, but the gelatinous goop I made can’t be what people drink, right?
The recipe said to take 1/2 cup dry rice or 1 cup cooked rice, and cook it in 4 cups water until very soft. Blend in a blender, let sit 45 minutes, and then strain through cheese cloth.
I tried to use my tea towel and it would NOT drain! The goo just sat there, looking….gooey. I tried gathering up the sides and twisting, like I do for the soy milk. A ha! It’s draining! Draining, yes. Filtering, no- I pushed every bit of that goo through the towel.
Is rice milk tasty? Tasty enough to try this again? I don’t think this would be a regular drink for us- as far as I can see, it has almost no nutritive qualities. But if it’s really tasty, it might make a nice treat for Mimi.
Heh…did you try giving her the goop?
no…I tried a sip, and didn’t have the heart!
Rice milk…. interesting. Don’t they add a ton of vitamins into the stuff they sell at the stores, in order to make it more nutritious?
They must, if people buy it. But then again, most dairy milk has vitamins added (A&D come to mind) as well.
