Rice milk is a plant-based drink that is made from rice grains. It is a popular alternative to dairy milk, as it is lactose-free and can be consumed by those who are allergic or intolerant to cow's milk. The process of making rice milk involves soaking raw rice in water for several hours until the starchy part of the grain has been broken down into a liquid form, which is then strained and blended with other ingredients such as sugar, salt, or flavorings. Rice milk is often used in cooking and baking, but it can also be consumed plain as a drink.
