How To Make Homemade Rice Milk for 3 Times Nothing.
Rice milk is a good alternative to animal milk like cow's milk.
It's gluten-free, but it costs a lot more. Doing it yourself, on the other hand, is much more economical.
There are special machines for making herbal milks, but I don't have the space or the money to invest in them at the moment.
So I give you my little homemade recipe to make it yourself without specific equipment, and the result is convincing!
Benefits of rice milk
Rice milk is a favorite of mine for several reasons: it is easy and economical to prepare, it is very digestible, gluten free and its taste does not affect my salty or sweet cooking recipes.
And then rice milk is much lower in fat than cow's milk. It is also rich in vitamin B and minerals.
Rice milk recipe
For this recipe, you need a few ingredients: rice flour and water. That's all !
1. Pour into a 1.2 liter carafe of water
2. Then dilute 40 g of rice flour in 11 tablespoons of water drawn from the carafe.
3. Boil the rest of the water (so 1.2 liters minus the 11 tablespoons taken).
4. Once the water has boiled, pour in the diluted rice flour mixture.
5. Mix well. The important thing here is to avoid lumps as much as possible.
6 Bring the mixture to a boil again.
7. Put on low heat for about 3 minutes.
8. Remember to stir from time to time.
9. Let cool.
Results
There you go, your rice milk is ready :-)
Whenever you want to use it for cooking or drinking, always shake well beforehand to re-homogenize the mixture.
Additional advice
- I prefer to use mineral water rich in calcium in order to obtain a rice milk much richer in calcium.
- I add, depending on my mood, a 1/2 sachet of vanilla sugar, a pinch of coarse salt, a tablespoon of walnut oil, spices or aromatic herbs or a teaspoon of orange blossom.
- I choose a rice flour of good quality and preferably organic. In fact, depending on the variety, the result is not the same. So you have to experiment.
- I mainly use this milk in cooking to make blinis, pancakes, madeleines, milk desserts, risottos etc. To drink on the other hand, more rarely, even if this rice milk is very refreshing in summer and that I begin to appreciate it with cocoa: D
