While you may have come across Rice Dream, the common brand of rice milk found at the supermarket, did you know you can prepare your own rice beverage within the comforts of your own home? Rice milk is a type of grain milk that you may fall in love with once you try. Most of its flavor comes from brown rice that is usually sweetened with sugarcane syrup. When compared to the milk that comes out of a cow it possesses more carbohydrates, but fails as a proper source of calcium and protein.
All over the world, there are different forms of rice milk, such as kokkok of Thai origin. Brown rice is its main ingredient and sometimes the only thing added to the beverage. When preparing a kokkah recipe, other rice selections and seasonings are sometimes used, such as sesame, barley, sweet rice, and/or azuki bean.
