Ingredients

• 100 grams long grain white rice
• 800 milliliters water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 400 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and tender. The water should be mostly absorbed.

Step 4

Remove from heat and allow the rice to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a blender. Add the remaining 400 milliliters of water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Place a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the blended rice mixture through it to strain out the solids. Use a spatula or spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 8

Transfer the strained rice milk into a clean bottle or jar, using a funnel if necessary.

Step 9

Refrigerate the rice milk for at least 2 hours to chill before serving. Shake well before use.

Step 10

Serve the sugar-free rice milk chilled or use it as a base for other beverages. Enjoy it plain, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
