Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain white rice (cooked)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • Add the cooked rice, water and maple syrup to a food processor.
  • Add the lid and process on high for 2-3 minutes, until the rice has blended into the water.
  • Line a sieve with cheesecloth and pour the rice milk into the cheesecloth, removing all of the rice pulp from the rice milk.
  • Discard the rice pulp and serve the rice milk. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can double strain your rice milk for a smoother finish 
  • If you like a thinner rice milk, you can blend the rice and water for a shorter amount of time
  • If you don’t like a sweetened rice milk, you can omit the maple syrup
  • If you want a very sweet rice milk, you can also flavor the milk with honey or dates. Add at the beginning of the process and strain as usual.
