Rinse 200 grams of dried soybeans thoroughly under cold water to remove any dust or impurities.
Place the cleaned soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with about 1200 milliliters of cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 12 hours or overnight until the soybeans have more than doubled in size.
After soaking, drain and rinse the soybeans again under cold running water.
Add the soaked soybeans to a blender along with 800 milliliters of fresh water.
Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the blended soybean mixture into a large pot through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the bean pulp. Press the bean pulp with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the strained liquid to a pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.
Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle for storage.
Refrigerate the soybean drink for up to 3-4 days and shake well before serving.
