Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • ½ cup dried soybeans
  • 4 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a piece of vanilla bean
  • 4 dates (optional)

Instruction

  • Soak the soybeans in water overnight (ideally 12 hours or longer).
  • Drain the soybeans and remove the outer skins. Removing the outer skins is optional, but your milk will have a better texture if you do.
  • Add them to a powerful blender and blend them with 3 cups of water (750 ml) until well blended and almost smooth.
  • Strain the blended mixture using a nut milk bag, a cheesecloth, a napkin or a fine mesh strainer.
  • Pour the mixture into a pot or a saucepan and add 1 cup of water (250 ml). Bring to a boil, stir and skim foam.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
  • Let cool the soy milk. You can add other ingredients such as vanilla extract or dates. Blend the mixture if necessary.
  • Use it to prepare recipes like vegan chocolate cake, vegan carrot cake, or vegan cheesecake.
  • Keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for about 3-5 days.
