Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 10 drops optional liquid stevia (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
Instructions
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under cool water to remove any dust or impurities.
Place the rinsed soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with fresh water. Allow them to soak for at least 12 hours or overnight, so they become soft and plump.
Once soaked, drain and rinse the soybeans again under cool water.
In a blender, add the soaked soybeans and 4 cups of fresh water. Blend the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture becomes smooth and frothy.
Strain the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine sieve over a large pot to separate the liquid from the soybean pulp. Squeeze or press the bag to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard or save the leftover pulp for another use such as incorporating into baked goods or as a thickening agent in soups.
Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the soybean liquid to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and scorching.
Simmer the soybean liquid for about 15-20 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.
After the cooking time, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, the salt, and liquid stevia or your preferred low-carb sweetener, adjusting the sweetness to your taste.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature before transferring it to a clean glass bottle or jar for storage.
Refrigerate your low-carb homemade soybean drink for up to 5 days. Shake well before serving and enjoy chilled or gently warmed!
