Ingredients:

  • 500 ml (1.06 pt) Water tap, bottled or distilled is fine
  • 100 g (3.53 oz) Uncooked Rice 1/2 cup

Equipment:

Instructions:

  • Place the rice into a strainer and give it a quick rinse. We do not want to overdo this as we need to retain as much starch as possible. It's more a case of getting rid of any impurities. Then, place the rinsed rice into a bowl.
    100 g Uncooked Rice
    Washed rice sits in a glass mixing bowl
  • Add 500ml of cold water to the rice, stir, and cover with a plate or plastic wrap
    500 ml Water
    Water is measured into the bowl of washed rice
  • Set aside and leave the rice to sit for 24 hours at room temperature.
    The bowl of water and rice is left to infuse
  • After 24 hours it's time to strain the water from the rice into a clean bowl or large beaker.
    A strainer is used to seperate the water from the rice
  • Once strained you can use the water straight away or pour the water into a clean bottle ready for later use.
    The rice water is poured into a glass bottle to store
