DIY Rice Milk Recipe

Updated January 07, 2022

While similar to the commercial options, this DIY recipe is not an exact replica of what's on grocery store shelves. This homemade version tastes more like, well, rice. If you're looking for a cost-saving option that you are free to flavor to suit your own preferences, however, this is a great way to go.

Variations: Add a bit of cocoa powder or cinnamon or nutmeg to the rice and water before blending.

Ingredients

1/2 cup brown rice
2 cups water
Pinch salt
Honey, maple syrup, white sugar, or other sweetener to taste (optional)
