Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup soybeans
- 6 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional, e.g., sugar or maple syrup)
Instructions
Rinse the soybeans under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Place the soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with 3 cups of water. Allow them to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight until the beans are plump and rehydrated.
Drain and rinse the soaked soybeans thoroughly.
In a blender, combine the drained soybeans with 3 cups of fresh water.
Blend on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Prepare a large pot and place a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with a muslin cloth over the top.
Pour the blended soybean mixture into the nut milk bag or through the muslin cloth to strain the soy milk. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the solids.
Transfer the strained soy milk into a large pot. Add the remaining 3 cups of water, vanilla extract, salt, and optional sweetener to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes. Continue stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soya bean milk cool.
Pour the cooled milk into a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate. Shake well before serving.
Enjoy your homemade low fat soya bean milk chilled or serve warm as desired.
