Homemade Rice Milk

Dodge the rice milk at the store the next time and simply make your own. All it takes is 3 ingredients to make this homemade rice milk. Naturally creamy and sweet, and perfect for smoothies, granola, or to drink straight from the glass.

Prep Time10 mins
Soak Time8 hrs
Course: beverage
Cuisine: American
Keyword: 10 ingredient or less, plant milk, vegan
Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup uncooked long grain white rice I used basmati
  • 4 cup water or less for a thicker, creamier milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 whole dried apricots pitted/optional
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pour the rice into a bowl. Choose a wide bowl with room to stir the rice. Submerge the rice in water. Fill the bowl with tap water until the rice is completely covered. Stir the rice around with clean hands. Tilt the bowl to pour out the starchy water. Rinse and repeat until the water stays clear.









  • Add fresh water to the bowl to cover the rice and let sit overnight.
  • After soaking time is completed, drain and rinse again. Then add to a high-speed blender along with water, salt, apricot and vanilla extract (if using).
  • Top with the lid and blend on high for about 1 minute or until the apricot is well combined with the water rice mixture.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness adding more apricots if desired.
  • Double strain through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag. Keeps in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Budget-Friendly Sesame Milk

Plant-based milks tend to be a lot more expensive than cow’s milk. Considering the downsides of cow’s milk, such as adverse health effect, negative impact on greenhouse gas emissions caused by cows and of course the cruelty on dairy farms that seems odd. Moreover, store-bought…
