How To Make Soy Milk

I decided 1 day while chatting with a friend, that I would try to make soy milk. I didn't want to go buy a machine, so decided to stick to a simple method that I found online. I was pretty happy with the results. I wont be making this every week, but maybe once in a while when I yearn for some fresh soy milk.

Ingredients:

• Soybeans, about 200 to 250g makes about 1 1/2 to 2 litres of soymilk
  
• Filtered water(my personal preference)
• Cheesecloth or equivalent.
• Sieve
• Big pot

1. Soak the soybeans for 12 to 24 hours


2. Add the soaked soybeans with about 1 to 2 cups water into a blender and puree until smooth
3. Please the sieve over the pot and line with the cheese cloth.
4. Pour the contents of the blender into the cheesecloth.
5. Let the liquid drain into the pot below. You will be left with a pot of uncooked soy milk and the okara (the leftover soybeans).


6. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the cheesecloth into the pot below.


7. The white liquid in the pot should be pretty thick. Add about a litre of water into the pot.
8. Place pot over stove on low heat and stir occasionally. After the milk comes to a boil you can turn it off and let it cool.


The end product is fresh soy milk. This taste good as is or you can sweeten with honey. It tastes even better if you make it into tofu dessert!

Ingredients:

• Fresh soy milk, about 1 1/2 cups
• gypsum powder ( 1/8 tsp)
• 1 tsp honey
  

1. Mix the gypsum power and honey with a little hot water
2.Pour the mixture and the soy milk together into a new bowl
3.Stir 2 times and let the mixture set(DO NOT over stir)
4. In about 5 minutes, dessert is served!!
