Brown rice milk

As part of Joy's Gfcf diet, we abandoned her cow milk and introduced her to brown rice milk. When I first started, I had to mix the brown rice 'milk' slowly with her usual milk. She took to the new milk quite easily. I spent only around 1 week to wean her totally off cow's milk. According to research, cow milk or animal's milk contain casein, a sort of protein that is probably affecting children with autism. (I am believing this, but this is not a doctor's prescription. Besides, I made sure she gets enough nutrients from her 3 main meals and supplements - I get questions about her not getting enough nutrients)

I searched online for the recipes to make different types of brown rice milk and tried a few. I ended up with the basic - organic brown rice powder, and a bit of organic almond powder. Initially I used organic maple syrup, for a bit of sweetness, but it got out of stock. Other cheaper brands of maple syrup are not convincing. ( I need to make sure its original and without added stuff) Most recipes I found suggests adding vanilla essence and some other stuff (I forgot the names) so that the brown rice milk will last for a few days. I opted to do without. I made my brown rice milk as often as required and made sure its finished by the day. 

Once in awhile, I made brown rice milk with my soy milk maker. It has functions to cook and produce milk out of any combination of rice I can think of. It is a bit of a fuss and takes more than an hour just to make around 1.2 litre of milk. Then I will add some red rice, black fragrant rice or millet with brown rice, plus almonds. There's a variety of combination to be made with these and so far, Joy isn't complaining. : ) She drinks around 1.5 to 3 litres perday. Not a cheaper option compared to commercial milk, but we are not doing this because of the cost.
