Rice milk has a lower protein count than both dairy and soymilk. Some people have difficulty digesting soy and may prefer a milk substitute made from rice. One can also make one’s own milk substitute from soy or rice. One can make rice milk by cooking one part rice to four parts water. Some like to add a dash of vanilla for extra flavoring. After the rice is fully cooked, it needs to be blended with its liquid and then strained several times through cheesecloth.
