Rice milk with strawberries and appricots

[26.12.2014]
Recipe:

Recipe (using Philips soy milk maker)
1 cup basmati rice
4 cup water
1 medjool date
dash of nutritional yeast
2 chopped strawberries
1 chopped apricot

If you use glass blender, can try 1/2 cup rice with 2 cup water. Reason being the portion would be just nice. Once done, you can heat it up or drink raw. For tasting, i added medjool dates. You can add raw cinnamon powder, coconut palm sugar, raw cocoa powder for a cocoa rice milk for a better taste.
