How to make soy milk at home ( Soya )

I was looking for a great alternative for whey protein and creatine since it costs a bit high for me. My research resulted to one entry. Soy milk! After a bit of study I finally knew how to make one. You would probably think that its hard to make soy milk since it was not commonly a homegrown recipe. You would prefer ordering from the man who yells "tahooo" lol. But just so you know it was easy making one.


You'll need:

250g soy beans
2L water
6-7 Tbs white or brown sugar
pinch of salt
juice blender
cheesecloth or any fine sifter

optional: vanilla

First step. soak the soy beans into a large bowl filled with water for about 12 hours. Make sure that the container has enough water because the beans would absorb the water.


Second step. Get your blender ready. Grind the soybeans with a 125g is to 1L ratio.
( I know we have the same thing in mind: soak the beans the afternoon you planned it and grind it the next day for some fresh soy milk for breakfast lol. )

After grinding it you would probably see 3 layers in your blending machine, the foam above, the milk in the middle and the residue below.


Third step. After grinding the soybeans to the consistency in the picture above, were now ready to sift the milk from the settlements. It is best if you use a cheesecloth for straining. Trust me. you would hate to have rough parts on your drink.

Fourth step. Boil the soy milk for about 10-15 mins. Add 6 Tablespoons of sugars for 2 liters of soy milk and a pinch of salt while boiling.

Final Step. Serve hot or chilled! You can also add flavors like vanilla essence or chocolate. Soy milks can last 3 days in the fridge without added preservatives
