Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 6 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (e.g., agave syrup, honey, or sugar)
Instructions
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or dust.
Place the soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with 3-4 cups of water. Allow the soybeans to soak overnight, or for at least 8-10 hours, until they have doubled in size.
Drain the soybeans and rinse them again under fresh water.
Place the soaked soybeans into a blender and add 3 cups of fresh water. Blend on high until smooth and no large pieces remain.
Line a large mixing bowl with a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Pour the blended soybean mixture through the cloth, twisting to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the filtered liquid (soybean milk) into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining 3 cups of water and place over medium heat.
Bring the soya bean milk to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the milk to cool slightly. Stir in the optional vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener.
Pour the soya bean milk into a glass bottle or jar for storage. It can be served warm or chilled and will last for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
