brown rice milk

[sptygl]

has anyone made rice milk?

any info on the health benefits?

i have a bag of brown rice that i would like to use raw rather than cook...
can it be used in the raw form?

thanks for the help

No, you can't make milk from raw rice. Have you tried nut and seed milks? These are delicious and easily digestible.

i have made nut milks and they are so good!!

i thought i read about someone making rice milk on this board.. ?? oh well
just thought i would double check on that.. because i have all this brown rice!

the only nut seed combos i have on hand are sesame (tried this one), sunflower, and lentil!
i guess i need to get to the store and get something more suitable for nut/seed milk.. right? :confused:

I think its doable to make rice milk - look up raw grain milks. I know some people do them with buckwheat, so why NOT rice? Unless you're big anti-grain, I'd say try it. It's essentially like juicing the grains.

hmmm.. thanks smilingrawdancer!!
if there was some health benefit to it i thought it might be worth trying~ :)

that's interesting -- i didn't know you can do it with buckwheat! i have oat groats and buckwheat as well. maybe i should try that too.

thank you!!

Non-dairy "milk" from grains is excellent for those with milk allergies, strict vegetarians, and as a way of using more stored grains. Other "milk" recipes made from grains, nuts and seeds, are available in my book, 1-2-3 Smoothies.
Rice Milk

1/2 c. brown rice (or you can substitute barley or oat flour)
2 t. honey
2 c. water
1 t. vanilla
Place dry rice in a blender, grain mill or seed mill; grind to a powder. Combine with remaining ingredients. Blend 2 minutes, then strain. Add a dash of salt, if desired. Makes 2 cups. Use within 3 days.
Note: To save time, I like to grind and refrigerate quarts of rice and other grains to use in making milks, such as barley and oats.

i also just found this information.. but was only just at the beginning of my research.

i'm going to try that--- thanks so much!! yeh


this is what i found -- although i am a bit more curious about what nutrients you actually get... hmmm :rolleyes:

Types of Rice

How you prepare the rice beforehand affects the finished results. You can make milk from raw or cooked, white or brown rice. Brown rice has more nutrients and produces milk with a slightly 'nuttier' taste. I suggest that you try different methods to suit your taste and needs. You may like one milk result for baking and another for drinking.

oh my god.. wow, i wonder how difficult it would be to grind that rice raw like it suggests!!

ok, worth a try!

i was thinking of soaking first to soften........ not sure if i should waver too much from something i am unsure about! ok..

Many customers add 1-2 tablespoon of flax or sesame seeds with the rice, or even substitute half of the rice for almonds or other nuts, for a wonderful flavor and increased nutrition.

this sounds interesting... :D

I think the vitamix would do it!

As an English person with different weights and measures can I ask what T and C stand for?

[imaquillen]

T= tablespoon
t or teas= teaspoon
C=cup
