First of all, Happy New Year! This is my first post of 2021 and wanted to kick it off with this delicious Rice Coffee Drink.
It’s a healthy drink that of course doesn’t taste like any specialty coffee or coffee in general, but it is a great alternative if you’re trying to wean off caffeine or just want something hot during the cold winter mornings.
Tips & Variations:
- Be careful not to burn the rice, it will end up tasting like charcoal- the rice needs to be a deep dark brown color.
- For a medium roast rice coffee, cook the rice until it’s golden brown. For a dark roast, cook the rice according to the recipe.
- Store the cooked rice in an airtight container for up to a month.
How to Make Rice Coffee:
Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:

Preheat pan over medium-low heat, add rice, and continuously stir until rice is a deep brown color, almost black. Immediately turn off the stove and remove the pan off the stove so the rice doesn’t burn.

Add brown sugar, your favorite plant based milk, stir, and serve hot.
