Preparation, uses, and tips

Look for rice milk in cartons, either on the shelves or in the refrigerated section of most health food stores and grocery stores. Rice milk will keep for 7 to 10 days; refrigerate after opening. For an extended shelf life and optimal taste, refrigerate overnight before opening.
