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.
