Soy Milk Recipe | How to make Soy Milk – Steps
- Soak the soy beans overnight in plenty of fresh water.
- In the morning you will see, they have almost doubled in size and changed their shape from rounded balls into more of a bean shape.
- Gentle scrubbing should remove the outer skin.
- Scrub under running water and keep discarding the skins that come off.
- Remove as much of the skin as possible.
- Rinse the beans once again.
- Add the soy beans in batches, with enough water and blend well – 2-3 minutes.
- The blended solution will be slightly grainy. This is normal.
- Add the mixture into a large pot. (Non stick is best)
- Bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon. Do not leave the kitchen. Keep an eye on it or the milk will boil over and create unnecessary cleanup!
- Continue to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the frothy scum that forms over the simmering soy milk.
- Remove occasionally till there is very little foamy residue on top. Do not go overboard and remove the pulp 🙂 .
- Now strain the milk through a muslin cloth.
- Wait for the pulp to cool down. (It’s very hot). Then squeeze the cloth to strain as much milk as possible.
- Now add as much boiled water as needed to achieve the consistency that you like. Some like it very strong. Some a little more dilute.
- Add sugar to taste.
- Serve hot or Chill completely and serve cold!
- We love it cold! If you’ve got a cold/flu however, it’s super served hot!
