getting my cook on - rice milk

me and my new food processor

i got a new food processor for christmas, and i'm super excited to try it out today, plus i haven't seen my man in over a week, so i'm making my version of christmas dinner.

today i will be making:

- rice milk

- raw brownies (uh huh, brownies = awesomeness!)

- mexican chicken and bean lettuce wraps with avocado mash

- salted caramel tarts (a little something for desert)

so far i have made the rice milk, and it was surprisingly easy, i haven't added any flavoring to it so that i could taste the original blend, and it tastes just like the stuff you buy from the supermarkets, except its a little more watered down.

this is how you make rice milk:

step one: rinse 1 cup of brown rice

step two: put rinsed rice in a blender

step three: add 2 cups of water (filtered preferably)

step four: blend for around 3 mins or until most of the rice has turned to a mush at the bottom

step five: strain the milk

step six: give it a go

some tips:

- if you want to you could add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of honey to the rice while blending

- try adding some vanilla

- make chocolate rice milk by adding some cocoa powder.

- make sure that you use the finest strainer that you can get to separate the grit from the milk.

- keep the rice milk in a sealed glass container for up to four days.

coming up next is my attempt at raw chocolate brownies...
