Ingredients
- 0.25 cup uncooked white rice
- 0.25 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups water
- 2 pieces pitted dates (optional for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the white rice and rolled oats under cool water using a fine mesh sieve to remove excess starch and debris.
Step 2
Add the rinsed rice, oats, and 4 cups of water to a blender. Let the mixture soak for 15 minutes to soften the ingredients.
Step 3
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and the liquid turns white and creamy.
Step 4
If using dates, vanilla extract, or salt, add them to the blender and blend again briefly to combine.
Step 5
Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag, fine mesh sieve, or clean cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher. Squeeze or press the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 6
Transfer the strained rice oat milk into a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
Step 7
Enjoy chilled, over cereal, in coffee, or as a refreshing standalone drink!
