Instructions:

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch and impurities. Drain well.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and almond milk.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook for about 20-25 minutes for white rice or 30-35 minutes for brown rice, or until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes, covered, to allow the rice to absorb any remaining almond milk.
  6. Transfer the cooked rice and almond milk mixture into a blender or food processor. Blend until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. You can add a little more almond milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
  7. Allow the puree to cool to a safe temperature before serving.
