Just Right Rice/Oat Milk

Submitted by BlessedOne

"Rice milk seems too thin. Oat milk seems too thick. So I tried a combination of both together. I like the consistency of this mixture."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 7 cups
• Serves: 10-15

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup cooked rice (I cook a whole batch of brown rice, then freeze 1/2 cup portions)
• 1⁄2 cup rolled oats (uncooked)
• 6 cups water (divided)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons honey

directions

1. Add rice and oats to 2 cups water. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Add other ingredients while combination is still warm, so honey dissolves easily,.
3. Blend together in a blender. Start at low speed, increasing speed to high gradually, until well blended.
4. Add 2 cups of water (Can use ice cubes for part of this to cool milk more quickly), blending thoroughly.
5. Have the remaining 2 cups of water (include part as ice cubes here too, if desired) waiting in a container.
6. Strain the rice/oat mixture through a fine sieve. (I think the strained solids are a tasty small serving of cooked cereal).
7. Add rice/oat milk to the water in container and shake well. This may be too thick for your liking. Just add more water until it reaches the desired consistency.
8. Enjoy!
9. (cooking time doesn't include time to cook rice before adding to recipe).

I've made this a few times and had to learn a few things to get it right. I prefer to use all rice instead of oatmeal. I've found that I can get it smooth without even straining it as long as I heat the water before I add it to the blender. Thank you for an inexpensive milk alternative recipe worth going back to!

I was careful and it still burned. We didn't cre for it. I tried the recipe twice.<br/>Sorry but I will stick with Rice Dream or one of the famous brands or try another recipe

Thanks for such a wonderful post! My children and I love this ,much better than anything on the shelves! I've made a fabulous chocolate pudding with it as well! I used Gluten Free Oats instead of regular oats for dietary reasons and was very pleased.

My husband liked this! I found that if I simmered it for 25 min, it burned. So, I simmer it for much less. It tastes wonderful.

This is sooo fantastic! I have wanted to make milk at home for a long time, but I attempted it for the first time last night. This recipe is EXTREMELY easy, and SO delicious! You were right, the strained solids *do* make a really yummy bowl of cereal. I ate half of it last night as I was making the milk and gave a few bites to my husband to try. He was impressed. My two-year-old had the rest of the strained solids this morning for breakfast. I think this milk tastes much better than store-bought... And is MUCH cheaper!
