Rice milk -
Jul. 31st, 2011 10:45 ambecause I will forget exactly what I did, I'm posting this. It started out with something I saw on one of my fb friend's walls.
Which led to clarification from said friend and then to this website:
http://forkfingerschopsticks.com/rice-5-ways-to-make-horchata-mexicos-rice-drink/
And because I can never follow directions, I used a plum wine bottle (the cool one with the pop top and the green glass) to let about two half scoops (the cup in my rice container is in grams...) sit over night (must remember to consider using the funnel next time; apparently I can't pour rice without it spilling everywhere...) along with a cinnamon stick and two and a half cups hot water. Let it sit about 10 hours, and then blended it on high the next day with 1/3 cup of sugar. Poured the slurry over the yogurt-straining-mesh (I have cheesecloth.. somewhere. Not sure where) sitting over the funnel - maybe I can use the drip coffee strainer next time? - and added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and what was left over on the bottom of my sticky honey container (it was solidifying). Filled up the plum wine container with almost 2 cups of cold water, and let it sit a couple of hours. I think next time I ought to 1)break up the cinnamon stick. 2) let it sit longer. Sweetness was just about right for me (maybe a bit less honey, though, next time. Apparently a little goes a long way).
