rice milk

2 C rice
4 C water

rinse rice to clean - pour 4 C boiling water over rice & let soak for 1-2
hours - blend 1 C soaked rice with 2 1/2 C water (can be cold water) -
blend rice to a slurry (not a smooth liquid) - pour into a pot & repeat
with rest of rice - bring to a boil & then reduce heat & simmer for 20
minutes - line colander with nylon tricot or a few layers of cheesecloth
- put bowl under colander - pour rice mix in colander - another 1 C of
water (or less or more) can be poured over the rice to get out more milk
- press with the back of a spoon - twist nylon & squeeze out as much milk
as possible

this milk is very plain and can be flavored with oil, vanilla, salt, etc.
