1/2 c Sugar
2 c Rice milk

hours, covered.

Drain liquid from rice, reserving liquid. In food processor or blender,
process rice in two batches with bout 1 cup of soaking liquid per batch
until nearly smooth. Return rice to remaining soaking liquid. Strain
mixture through several layers of cheesecloth or coffee filters. (This

Jasmine rice, for example, creates a different flavor than basmati or other
rice.
