Homemade Rice Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of cooked Rice
  
• 5 cups of Water
  
• 2-3 drops of Stevia
  
• 1 Tblsp Olive Oil
  

Directions:
Soak the rice & olive oil in blender overnight, minimum 3 hours. Add stevia & blend for 3 minutes.
Depending on how long you soak the rice, you may want to filter it through a cheese cloth to remove the grainy sediment.
You can also use uncooked rice, but it does seperate and has a bit of a chalky texture.
