Rice milk using cooked rice

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cooked rice
• 1 1/2-2 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons sugar ((dates or jaggery))
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or lemon flavouring

Instructions

1. 1

   If using dry dates soak overnight to soften, then remove seeds.

2. 2

   Boil your cooked rice a little more to get it really soft, rinse the parboiled rice to remove some of the starch which can cause a slimy, gummy feel to the milk (this step is optional).

3. 3

   Using a potato masher, mash rice (skip if you have a powerful blender).

4. 4

   Place rice, warm water and sugar (dates or jaggery) in a blender. Blend together until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Strain using cheesecloth, a very fine strainer or chiffon fabric.

6. 6

   Stir in flavouring.

7. 7

   Store in the fridge to cool.
