Extract the rice gel
Rinse the cooked rice to remove excess surface starch.
Combine rinsed rice and filtered water in a small saucepan. Simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring until the liquid turns cloudy and slightly viscous.
Allow to cool, then blend for 20 seconds until smooth.
Strain through clean muslin or a fine sieve to collect a translucent, pudding-like rice gel.
Enrich the base
Whisk aloe-vera gel into the warm rice gel until silky.
Stir in the cooled green-tea infusion.
Sprinkle in orange-peel powder; whisk until fully dispersed, creating a pale peach tint.
Add glycerin and raw honey, mixing until the gel feels uniformly slick and glossy.
Fold in vitamin E oil for an extra antioxidant boost.
Set & store
Spoon the mixture into a sterilized 100 g glass jar.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; the texture will thicken slightly and feel refreshingly cool on application.
Keep chilled and use within 14 days. (Raw honey and vitamin E offer mild preservation, but freshness is key for potency.)
