Re Making Rice Milk

[Guest guest]

There's a recipe in the VitaMix cookbook that I was going to try for making

rice milk. Has anyone tried that? If so, what sweetener did you use?

 

Also, I attempted to make soymilk using soybeans in the VitaMix and my

attempt was a disaster! I ended up throwing everything out. My problem

wasn't with using the VitaMix, it was with the straining part. First, I

used 4 layers of unbleached cheesecloth as suggested , but no liquid was

extracted. I tried 2 layers, and I got dribbles. I don't remember if I

used a single layer, but after the 3rd time the cheesecloth became detached

from the jar while I was straining, I quit! I would like to try making the

milk again, but not until I get some additional guidance!

 

I really want to using the Vita-Mix for making milk instead of investing in

a soymilk maker if at all possible. I think making the milk would save us

big $$$. I even found a recipe for making soymilk fortified with calcium

and B-12!

 

P.S. I've had my Vita-Mix for only a few months and I love it!!!

I don't know if it will work for your application or not but I

often use nylon for straining things. That or cotton muslim. In

fact there are reusable tea bags and sprout bags made from cotton

muslim.

 

Good luck!
