This is quite a sweet drink - it's almost like a liquid rice pudding, so it's best drunk at the end of a meal. Shiso is an Asian mint which you can buy at Asian supermarkets. It lifts the drink and complements the nutty flavours from the orgeat and coconut water.
Oskar Kinberg’s Top Tips
- If you're making the Rice Rice Baby at a party, then pre-mix the lime juice, orgeat and rice-infused coconut water in a bottle and keep it in the fridge - it's such a fine balance, it's better to get it right beforehand.
When mixing with herbs, always fine strain the drink to remove as many bits as possible.
- To fine strain a drink, use two strainers - if you have a hawthorn strainer (a flat silver disc with a coil) in your kit, use that, and a tea strainer will work well for the other.
- Ingredients such as orgeat syrup can be found at Whisky Exchange, Amathus or masterofmalt.com
