Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 6 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
Place the rinsed soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with 3 cups of water. Allow them to soak for at least 8-12 hours or overnight. The beans should double in size when properly soaked.
Drain the soaked soybeans and give them another rinse.
In a blender, combine the soaked soybeans with 3 cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth puree.
Strain the pureed soybean mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a large pot, pressing out as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover pulp or save it for another use.
Place the pot with the strained soybean milk over medium heat on the stove and bring it to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help to cook the soybean milk and remove any raw bean flavor.
After simmering, stir in the vanilla extract, honey (or sugar), and salt. Adjust the sweetener to taste.
Allow the soybean drink to cool slightly before transferring to a clean glass jar or bottle. Refrigerate for up to a week.
Shake well before serving enjoy your homemade low-fat soybean drink as is, or use it as a base for smoothies or other recipes.
