Doesn't taste sweet enough? Add more sweetener. Want it thicker? Add less water.

🔪 Instructions
Mix cooked rice, water, vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup in a high speed blender or Nutribullet. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth with a large bowl underneath.
💭 Tips
- Blend for 1 minute or so to break up the rice and get a creamier milk.
- If you want a really thick consistency, start with less water, like if you want to use it as creamer for coffee.
- I adjust the amount of maple syrup depending on how I use it. I like my rice milk on the sweeter side for coffee and cereal, but prefer less sweetener for a smoothie. Start with less and see how you like it.
- Rice milk will separate when stored in the fridge. Just give it a shake before using.
🥡 Storage
Since this is a homemade rice milk recipe without preservatives like store-bought non-dairy milk, this recipe will last about 5 days in the fridge. If you don't think you'll use it up in time, you can freeze it in ice cube trays.
Frozen rice milk will last several months.
