I've been feeding my baby this rice cereal. It is so much fresher and tastier than the Gerber powdered rice cereal. And inexpensive. A great way to feed whole grains to an infant.
Ingredients:
Organic brown rice (I buy a bag at Costco)
water
salt
sugar (brown or white)
milk (optional)
Directions
Grind 2 cups of brown rice into rice flour (I use a Nutrimill)
Boil 2 cups water with a dash of salt. For older babies, I like to use 1 cup water and 1 cup whole milk.
Gradually add 1/4 cup rice flour, whisking to prevent lumps.
Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon sugar or to taste.
Allow to cool.
Feed baby.
Porridge can be thinned with formula.
I also like to mix it with pureed veggies.
Leftover porridge can be stored in the refrigerator or frozen in serving size portions.
