Equipment

Medium saucepan
Wooden spoon or spatula
Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth

Ingredients

2 cups of uncooked brown rice
½ cup of water

Instructions

Rinse and drain the uncooked brown rice in a fine mesh strainer.
In a medium saucepan, bring ½ cup of water to a boil.
Add in the rinsed brown rice and stir to combine.
Reduce heat to low and let the rice simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
After an hour, check the consistency of the rice. If it has a porridge-like consistency, continue to cook for another 30 minutes until it becomes a thick paste.
Once the rice is a thick paste, remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the rice paste over a bowl to remove any lumps.
Transfer the strained liquid back into the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

This homemade rice malt syrup may have a slightly different consistency and flavor compared to store-bought versions, but it can be used as a substitute in recipes that call for brown rice syrup.
For a darker and richer flavored syrup, you can let the rice paste cook for longer than 1 hour before straining. Just make sure to keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to prevent burning.
If you prefer a thinner syrup, you can add some water back into the strained liquid and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Adjust amount of water according to your desired consistency.
