Today I made this but increased both the temp and the cooking time. And after sitting all day in the fridge, the rice milk hasn't seperated    So here's my version:

50g brown rice
40g almonds
1 teaspoon coconut milk
20 rice syrup (all i could get at the Health Food Shop was Rice Syrup - not sure if this is the same as rice malt syrup??)
pinch salt
1.2 Lt water

Place rice in dry Tm bown and grind for 1 min.
Ad almonds and grind for another 20 secs
Then add the coconut oil, salt and rice syrup and 400g water. Mix on speed 8 for 40 seconds so it's all creamy.
Then add the rest of the water and cook on 80c for 10 mins.
Mix on speed 8 for another 60 seconds then strain into a jug.

It makes a reasonably more amount of sludge - I guess because the rice has had more time to absorb the water and plump up??
Either way it hasn't seperated yet - so that's a good sign.

I made this yesterday.

I used Mama Bel's version (although I used Rice Syrup instead of Rice Malt Syrup because that's all the store had).

It had seperated a bit today but that doesn't bother me too much, I just shake it up again.

I am curious though what the coconut oil is for.  Does that just make it a creamier milk. I am not really fond of coconut flavour and found it a bit overpowering in the milk, so I am wondering what effect it will have if I just leave it out.

While I was at it, I made some almond milk too and I found that to be much nicer, however given the price of almonds, it would be a lot more economical if I could find a rice milk recipe that I like just as much.

i have never used the coconut oil molly

Some coconut oils are more 'coconutty' than others - I like the Spiral brand as it doesn't have much of a flavour.  But you can use any oil (sunflower, macadamia, etc) - it's just to make it more creamy.  Or you can leave it out.  Almonds can also be left out, just use more rice; or just use 30g to 50g rice... it makes it creamier with and I like the flavour better, and as almonds are high in calcium I think it's good to add them.  I buy mine bulk from Trumps - the last lot I got were on special and I bought about 25 kg (they were about $7/kg for insecticide free) but usually they're about $11/kg from Trumps (I.F.).  Not too expensive if your only using a small handful each time.

ooh i use cashews and pay $16/kg (can only buy in kg lots  ) maybe i should investigate online bulk sellers huh....

Did somebody report that the rice, soy and almond milk recipes have been removed from the newest EDC book?

[brazen20au]

the soy milk yes, not sure about the others. MY copy of the EDC still hasn't arrived, more than 6 weeks after ordering...

[Thermomixer]

Think that it only came back from he printers very recently.  Not sure whether it was in the last edition - I had the old, old one.

[brazen20au]

i don't really care which version i get as long as it's from this year and i actually get it LOL

[quirkycooking]

I've got the new EDC, and it has no rice, almond or soy milk recipes in it. 

[judydawn]

Does that mean their recipes were failures

[Thermomixer]

Think they may have transferred them to the Vego book?

[quirkycooking]

Yes, they are in the Vego book!  Sorry, realized that after I posted.
