Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 6 cups water
Instructions
Start by rinsing 1 cup of dried soybeans under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Place the rinsed soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with water. Allow them to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight for the best results.
After soaking, drain and rinse the soybeans under running water. The beans should have doubled in size.
Add the soaked soybeans to a blender with 3 cups of fresh water. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, usually about 2-3 minutes.
Prepare a large bowl and line a fine mesh sieve with a clean cheesecloth. Pour the blended soybean mixture into the sieve to strain out the liquid from the soybean pulp, also known as okara.
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and twist to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the okara or save it for use in baked goods or composting.
Pour the strained soya milk into a large pot and add the remaining 3 cups of water.
Heat the soya milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a boil. Be cautious as it can foam and boil over.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soya milk cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled soya milk to a clean glass bottle or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate the soya milk and consume within 3 to 4 days.
