Cornstarch if you heat it.

Corn starch. Mix it with cold water and bring it to a boil, stirring
constantly. It will thicken up and look a bit like diluted milk.

If it's a party idea then some of the anisette liquors will turn milky when
mixed with water.

I 'think' what turns the rice water white is mostly talc -- I wouldn't want
to ingest talc.

Dee,

But... but... if you cook the same white rice and don't soak it first,
wouldn't your rice dish be full of, as you say, talc?

Nope - cooked corn starch gives a clear glossy finish.

It's been many years since rice in the US contained talc. Talc was
used in the milling process but no longer permitted in the US, not even
in imports.

Andy, I don't know if soaking (after rinsing to remove most of the talc)
takes out MORE talc, but I do soak. But most importantly, I rinse 7-10
times, plus I try to buy rice that says on the package "less talc" or "no
talc" or "gourmet" in other words, something that indicates that the rice
does have less talc.

Actually talc (with glucose) coated rice is still available but (by law,
anyway) must be labled as such. Some South American recipes call for
it. The coating was used as a preservation method and was to be rinsed
off prior to cooking.

Clear finish yes....like on many Oriental dishes....but get it an inch
thick and it looks like so much...well....ah....it's milky.
Sometimes it pays to play with your food!!! :-)

Depending on how thick you want it......powdered milk. Or powdered milk
and cornstarch to thicken. Or sweetened condensed milk.

Nope, Dimitri is correct... no matter how thick, even a mile thick,
when cornstarch is cooked it's clear, crystal clear... NEVER milky.
Perhaps you see things clouded because that's how smarmy [censored] see

A mile thick! Crystal (BTW...Are all crystals clear?) clear!!!

Go forth and cook cornstarch!

Good idea. You can cook rice, pasta, or potatoes in boiling water. The
starch will cook out and you will have a white, thick, milky substance.
Don't add too much extra water.

Or you can make water gravy. A flour and oil roux and thin with water and
cook until it is as thick as you want it.
