【米飲料】試過今期流行的米奶嗎？

⭐買現成米奶要注意有否添加糖份
⭐朱古力口味的更要留意熱量
#星期一踢走BlueMonday

米奶 vs 米水
近年植物奶大行其道，米奶亦是其中一種，米奶和米水哪一種比較好？來了解一下吧！

🥛 甚麼是米奶？
米奶是由白米及水製成的仿奶製品，不含奶類成份，其營養來自白米，相比牛奶熱量較低，不含動物性脂肪，適合素食人士、乳糖不耐症患者及減肥人士飲用；惟注意升糖指數高，糖尿病人士慎飲。

自製米奶
材料：白米1杯、開水5杯
做法：白米洗淨，放雪櫃浸泡一晚。倒走浸泡的水，將米及開水以高速攪拌機攪成糊狀，如顆粒比較大，可用隔渣袋過濾米渣，即成米奶。
*米和水的比例可按個人喜好而定
*用白飯可省卻浸米時間

🍚 甚麼是米水？
米水是用紅米、白米及生薏米煲成的養生飲品，從中醫角度看，白米及紅米皆有補氣養脾胃功效，亦能除煩渴、長肌肉、止腹瀉，加入少量生薏米取其健脾袪濕功效，加強去水能力。米水可紓緩容易疲倦、食慾不振、面色偏黃欠光澤及身體浮腫等問題，由於屬性平和，男女老幼皆適合，唯薏米會令子宮收縮，建議孕婦不下薏米服用。

自製米水
材料：紅米2湯匙、白米半湯匙、生薏米半湯匙
做法：將材料洗淨，鍋內加入約800-1000毫升水，以武火煮滾後調文火煮20-30分鐘。
備註：天天煲，一天飲完，不要過夜

Rice milk vs rice water
Plant based milk has become trendy in recent years, and rice milk is an example. Is rice milk better than rice water? Let’s get to know them a little better!

🥛 What is rice milk?
It is a milk substitute made of white rice and water. In other words, it does not contain dairy product. The nutrient of rice milk comes from white rice, and it is lower in calories. Since rice milk does not contain animal fats, it is suitable for vegans, lactose-intolerant individuals, and those who wish to lose weight. Diabetic patients, however, should watch out for its sugar content.

Homemade rice milk
Ingredients: 1 cup of white rice, 5 cups of boiled water
Method: wash the white rice and soak it in water overnight in the refrigerator. Pour away the water, and replace it with boiled water. Pour the mixture into a high-speed blender to turn them into a paste. Use a sieve to remove the large bits of rice and retrieve the rice milk.
*Adjust the ratio of the rice and water according to personal preference
*Using cooked rice can reduce the hours of soaking

🍚 What is rice water?
Rice water is a healthy drink made from red rice, white rice, and coix seed. White rice and red white can both replenish qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, relieve excessive thirst, promote muscle growth, and alleviate diarrhea. Coix seed can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness. Rice water can improve fatigue, poor appetite, yellowish complexion that is lacking shine, and bloating. Due to its mild nature, it is suitable for the entire family with the exception of pregnant women as coix seeds can cause uterus contraction.

Simple healthy rice water
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons red rice, half tablespoon of white rice, half tablespoon of coix seeds
Preparation: rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Combine all ingredients with 800-1000ml of water and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
*Rice water should be made fresh daily and should not be stored overnight as it will spoil easily.
*For pregnant ladies, they can omit coix seeds.
*Those with diabetes should consult a nutritionist accordingly.

【清熱湯水】冬瓜滾湯好清甜

⭐冬瓜煲湯宜切大塊
⭐冬瓜滾湯宜切小粒
#星期二提升正能量

冬瓜薏米湯清熱祛濕
夏天常飲冬瓜湯，因為冬瓜有清熱解毒、利水消腫的功效，但煲湯最少都要一小時，如沒有時間的話，其實滾湯亦有相同功效！滾湯時間比較短，所以材料最好切成大小相若的顆粒，容易煮熟及出味。生薏米能清熱健脾祛濕，而熟薏米有健脾作用，薏米屬於粗糧，故這款滾湯宜連湯渣食用，配一碗白飯就成為開胃的湯飯。現在正值夏轉秋之際，是在處暑前後煲的最後一次冬瓜湯了。

冬瓜雪耳薏米湯
功效：清熱祛濕、利水消腫，紓緩暑熱、無胃口、身體感覺睏倦、肥胖等症狀。
材料：冬瓜600克、雪耳一朵、生薏米30克、熟薏米30克、乾瑤柱3－4枚、薑2片
做法：
1. 全部材料洗淨，雪耳以清水浸軟，去蒂洗淨切塊備用。乾瑤柱浸水至軟身瀝乾，瑤柱水備用；冬瓜連皮去籽切粒。
2. 在深鍋裡加入約2000毫升水，加入所有材料，武火煮至水滾，改用文火煮約30分鐘直至冬瓜軟腍，最後下鹽調味即可。

Winter gourd and coix seed soup can clear heat and dispel dampness
We enjoy drinking the winter gourd soup during summer as it can clear the heat and toxins from the body and relieve edema. Regular boiled soup takes an hour, and some people just do not have the patience for it. If you don’t have time, you can make boiled soup instead. The boiling time is relatively short, we need to dice the ingredient to make sure the winter gourd cooks faster and tastes better.

On the other hand, coix seed can clear the heat, strengthen the spleen, and dispel dampness from the body. Since coix seed is a type of coarse grain, we can eat it while enjoying the soup. Adding a bowl of rice to the meal can also stimulate our appetite. Let’s make ourselves a pot of winter gourd soup before we enter the fall season!

Winter gourd and snow fungus soup with coix seed
Effects: clears heat, dispels dampness, promotes diuresis and reduces bloating. It can relieve summer heat, poor appetite, fatigue and obesity.
Ingredients: 600g winter gourd, 1 ear of snow fungus, 30g coix seed, 30g cooked coix seed, 3-4 dried scallop, 2 slices of ginger
Preparation:
1. Rinse all ingredients thoroughly. Soak snow fungus in water until softened, then cut off black bits from the bottom and slice into pieces. Soak dried scallop in water until softened then drain. Save the soaked water. Seed winter gourd, keep the skin and dice it.
2. Combine all ingredients with 2000ml of water in a pot and cook on high heat until boiling. Turn to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes until the winter gourd softened. Add salt to taste.
