How to Make Brown Rice Milk
-
Roast the Brown Rice
Place a pan on the stove and add 150gr of brown rice to roast on low heat for about 7 – 10 minutes until the rice pops.
After roasting, pour the roasted brown rice into a pot and add 1 liter of water. Next, boil for about 15 – 20 minutes over medium heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for an additional 30 – 40 minutes until the rice is soft.
Finally, let the brown rice cool for about 15 minutes before turning off the heat.
Tip: To ensure even cooking of the rice, be sure to stir well while roasting on low heat. -
Grind brown rice
You put the boiled brown rice mixture into the blender and proceed to grind it into a fine paste.
After grinding, you filter the ground rice through a sieve for the first time, then use chopsticks or spoon to stir the rice in the sieve evenly to ensure the rice extract is filtered clean.
Next, pour the mixture back in and continue to filter for the second time through the sieve to obtain a smoother and more nutrient-rich rice water, avoiding a lumpy final product.

The rice water after being finely filtered should be poured back into the pot along with 220ml of unsweetened fresh milk.

Tip: You should only cook until the milk creates tiny bubbles on the edges or the surface of the warm milk. Avoid boiling as it will destroy all the nutrients present in the milk.
