About this dish

Black rice soaked for an hour and cooked until the grains collapse blends with milk into a latte that goes down smoothly despite being made from grain.

Any hard centers left in the rice stay gritty however long the blender runs. For a cold glass, chilled milk takes the place of ice so the drink does not thin out.

Instructions

6 steps

1

Rinse 70g of black rice multiple times in cold water, soak in fresh water for 1 hour, then drain completely using a sieve to remove excess moisture.
2

Place the soaked rice and 220ml of water in a pot, then cook over low heat for 15 minutes until the grains are soft and aromatic before removing.
3

Add the cooked rice and 300ml of milk into a blender and process at high speed until perfectly smooth, creating a deep purple liquid base with no particles.
4

Pour the mixture into a pot, stir in 20g of glutinous rice flour dissolved in 50ml of milk, and heat while stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
5

Stir in 24g maple syrup, 1g salt, and 2ml vanilla extract, then simmer on low heat for 3 minutes until the latte becomes silky and slightly thickened naturally.
6

Warm the remaining 150ml of milk, blend it evenly with the black rice base, then pour into warm cups and serve immediately while the drink is hot.
