Homemade Rice Milk Recipe - Money Saver!

Due to food intolerances, my son has been drinking rice milk for over six months. The price of store-bought rice milk can really add up over time. The exciting news is that you can make it yourself for incredibly cheap. It takes 3 hours simmering time, but actual hands-on time is about 15-30 minutes.

Ingredients:
   1 cup long-grain brown rice
   8 cups water
   More water for diluting
   1 tsp. salt
   2 tbsp. safflower oil or sunflower oil (optional)
Supplies:
   2 large pots
                                                        Mesh strainer
                                                        Blender

                                                     Ladle

                                                        3 Qt. container for storage

Thoroughly wash the rice. Pour 8 cups of water into a big pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Mix in the Safflower oil. Pour in the rice. Cover the pot and lower the heat to let the water simmer (leave small steam hole open). Cook for 3 hours.

You will end up with something that looks a bit like a soupy rice pudding. Add the salt.

Fill your blender halfway with water and halfway with rice. Blend until very smooth.

Strain once through a fine mesh strainer into a large pot. Strain, for a second time, into the original pot from the stove.

Pour the finished product into a large container and store in the fridge.
