Rice Milk
Rice milk is a creamy, plant-based beverage made from rice, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a thin, watery texture compared to dairy milk or other milk alternatives. Its naturally sweet taste and light consistency make it a popular choice for those with lactose intolerance, dairy allergies, or vegan diets. This dairy-free milk alternative is often enriched with vitamins and minerals to enhance its nutritional profile and make it a versatile ingredient in a variety of recipes and beverages.
Common Uses
- As a dairy-free milk substitute in breakfast cereals and oatmeal, providing a subtle sweetness and liquid base without the heaviness of dairy milk.
- Blended into smoothies and shakes for a lighter, plant-based alternative to dairy milk, offering a smooth texture and slightly sweet flavor that complements fruits and other ingredients.
- Used in baking recipes such as cakes, muffins, and cookies as a vegan-friendly liquid ingredient that can help to create a moist and tender crumb.
- As a base for creamy vegan soups and sauces, providing a neutral flavor and thin consistency that can be thickened with other ingredients to create a rich and satisfying dish.
- In coffee and tea as a non-dairy creamer, adding a touch of sweetness and a lighter body compared to dairy milk or other milk alternatives.
- In making plant-based ice cream and frozen desserts, providing a dairy-free base that can be flavored and frozen to create a refreshing and allergen-friendly treat.

Storage Tips
Unopened rice milk can be stored at room temperature in a pantry or cupboard until the expiration date. Once opened, it must be refrigerated and consumed within 7-10 days. To maintain freshness, ensure the carton is tightly sealed after each use. Avoid storing in the refrigerator door, as temperature fluctuations can affect its quality.
