Hot Rice Breakfast Drink Recipes

EASY RICE BREAKFAST TREAT

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread rice onto a platter and allow to cool in refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
• Stir together 2 cups of the rice and 1 cup milk in each of two microwave-safe bowls. Cook in microwave on high until hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a sealable bag; shake to mix. Divide the mixture between the two bowls of rice; stir through.

RICE ATOLE, HOT RICE DRINK

Steps:

• Place the water in a large pot, bring to a boil. Add the rice and the cinnamon stick, mix well. Bring to a boil again and cook until the rice is translucent but not cooked through. Add the milk and bring to a boil again. When the rice is very soft, add the sugar and stir to dissolve. When it boils again add the cornstarch previously dissolved in the 1/4 cup water. Cook stirring often until it thickens.

HOT RICE CEREAL

Steps:

• In a medium sized saucepan, combine the rice, milk, margarine, and salt. Add the raisins too, if you're using them. Stir the mixture mover medium heat until it is heated through, and he margarne is melted. Simmer for a minute or two to thicken. Serve immediately, while it is hot.
• Cooked wheat or bulgur may replace the rice, if desired.

HOMEMADE BROWN RICE HOT CEREAL

Steps:

• In clean, dry skillet (preferably cast iron) toast brown rice on medium heat. Lower heat if rice starts to smoke.
• Toast rice for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly so that grains do not burn. Rice should turn a medium brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
• In blender fitted with steel blade, or in grain mill or food processor grind browned rice to the consistency of medium coarse cornmeal (grainy but not powdered.).
• The grinding process will have to be done in 3/4 cup portions to allow the rice grains to grind effectively.
• To store: Place ground rice cereal in airtight container or "ziploc" bag. The cereal must be kept either refrigerated or frozen. Brown rice goes rancid quickly if stored in cupboard.
• To prepare hot cereal: (1 serving/thick consistency*).
• In small saucepan with 1 cup of rapidly boiling, salted water gradually add 1/3 cup scant of prepared brown rice cereal using a fork to stir well. *For thinner consistency cereal, either increase amount of water, or reduce amount of cereal. Continue to cook rice on high for about 30 seconds breaking up any lumps. Reduce heat until boiling subsides, cover pan tightly and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Serve with your favorite toppings if desired. Season with salt if necessary. My favorite additions are toasted nuts, raisins and cardamom!
