This recipe is from Egypt but tastes just like orchata. The Egyptians also have a tamarind drink similar to the tamarindo a Central American drink. Long-cooked brown rice is very supportive to the GI tract and easy to digest.
I’ve just tasted the fermented rice, but I think it hasn’t fermented. Could it be because I used tapwater which wasn’t filtered ? By boiling, I thought the chlorine (inside the water) would disappear… Anyway, how is this fermented rice supposed to taste… sweet isn’t it ?
Very nice recipes here !
I just made this recipe from Nourishing Traditions and it is delicious! It doesn’t even come close to store-bought rice milk. I will definitely be making this again and again.
Oops! Obviously I meant store-bought rice milk doesn’t come close to this recipe.
