Rice Milk

Ingredients:
rice, white, long-grain, regular, unenriched, cooked without salt
water, bottled, generic
sugars, granulated

Directions:
Soak the rice in the water for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Transfer the rice and the soaking liquid to the blender and whirl on its highest speed for a full 2 minutes.
If youre using sweetener, blend it in with the rice.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids, Enjoy immediately, or serve cold or over ice.
Kept refrigerated, rice milk will last for up to 1 week.
Frozen rice milk will keep for up to 4 months.
Variation: Horchata
As anyone who lives within sniffing distance of a taqueria can tell you, horchata is an outrageously enjoyable beverage made from rice milk.
On a hot day and/or with hot food, its sweet cinnamon coolness is most welcome.
To make it, make the Rice Milk and soak I (3-inch) cinnamon stick in the water along with the rice.
Include the cinnamon stick in the blender when pureeing the rice, along with a pinch of kosher salt and 4 tablespoons of your favorite sugar or natural sweetener, adding more to taste.
Strain and enjoy immediately; or serve cold or over ice.
Horchata will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days, but it does not freeze well.
