Add the rice and the water to a medium bowl and mix until the water becomes cloudy.
3
Strain the water through a sieve into another bowl.
4
Smash avocado into the rice water with a whisk or add both the rice water and avocado to a blender and blend until smooth (the easier method!).

Apply the avocado rice water to your hair during your next shower: Wash and condition your hair as you would normally. Add the avocado rice water and allow it to sit for 5 minutes (while you wash your body!); then rinse it out.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions In place of rice, try quinoa.
