Make Yer Own Rice Crispies

Stratford_Bill

I was trying to make coffee out of rice when I discovered this by accident. If you put a load of rice in an oven tray and toast it in the oven, hey presto, rice crispies. You can grind these up (or grind Kellogg's rice crispies up) and make coffee in the usual way, providing you don't mind your coffee tasting of rice crispies. You can also add it to proper ground coffee to make it go further. Or, of course, you can add some milk and have a homemade snap crackle and pop breakfast.
Now you may ask why we were crazy enough to be trying to make coffee out of rice. My father was a Far East prisoner of war, and he told me how they made their coffee out of rice.

I have got to try this, just for the novelty value, which kind of rice do you use as I mostly have American easy cook?

I always thought rice would only pop in a vacuum or low pressure chamber. now I know different, I'm going to try it too. I have 3 kinds of rice here, I'll try them all & see what happens. I'm going to watch it through the oven door

Is this raw rice or cooked?
AS for coffee,I made some from raosted dandelion roots a while ago and it tastes wierdly like ground coffee.

Culpepper, I didn't think about that, I put raw rice in and it's turning brown at the mo

Oh and it doesn't work in the popcorn maker, I tried :rotfl:

I have bought dandelion coffee in the past and it's quite nice. I don't have enought in my garden to harvest the things though.

It looks like you need to steam (or possibly boil??) it first.
