Ingredients

1/2 cup brown rice

8 cups water

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/8 teaspoon granulated kelp (optional)

1 cup or more cold water

3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Place rice, 8 cups water, salt, and kelp in pan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer 3 hours, or until rice is very soft. (You can also do this in a crockpot overnight.)

In blender, puree rice mixture with remaining ingredients. You will have to do it in two batches. Puree each batch at least 2 or 3 minutes to completely liquefy the rice. Add more water if a thinner consistency is desired. Keep refrigerated.

Yield: About 6 cups
