Rice Dishes; FANCY RICE MILK

Rice milk is a good substitute for milk in coffee drinks.

* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 2 tbsp. honey

Instructions:
Blend all ingredients, chill and serve. Servings: 4.

Rice Dishes; RICE MILK

RICE MILK #1
Ingredients:
*4 cups hot/warm water
*1 cup cooked rice (I've used white or brown)
*1 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Let the milk set for about 30 minutes,
then without shaking pour the milk into another container ( I use an old honey jar)
leaving most of the sediment in the first container. This makes about 4 - 4 1/2 cups.
Notes: When I have used cold water and the rice was taken out of the refrigerator, it
just doesn't come out that well. I don't know why but its best to use warm water and
warm rice (you can nuke it if its leftovers but freshly made is best) I have even let it
set longer than 30 minutes (overnight) without it making a difference.

RICE MILK #2

Ingredients:
****************************************************************************************
2 C rice
4 C water

Instructions:
**************************************************************************************
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.
