Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry soybeans
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse the soybeans thoroughly and then place them in a large bowl.
Cover the soybeans with water and soak them for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften.
Drain and rinse the soaked soybeans well under running water.
In a blender, combine the soaked soybeans with 4 cups of fresh water.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the soybeans are finely ground and the mixture looks frothy.
Line a large bowl with a nut milk bag or a piece of cheesecloth. Pour the blended soybeans mixture into the cloth or bag.
Squeeze and press the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp or reserve it for other uses.
Transfer the strained liquid (soya milk) to a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and form a skin at the bottom.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
Continue to simmer for about 20 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the soya milk cool slightly.
Pour the milk into a glass container or bottle and refrigerate for up to four days.
Shake well before serving. Enjoy it cold, or use it in place of dairy milk in your favorite recipes.
