MILK FROM SOYBEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak soybeans in 2-3 cups of water overnight.
• Discard water and rinse soybeans.
• Remove skins as best you can.
• Add soybeans and 4 cups water to blender.
• Blend until smooth.
• Strain the blended mixture using butter muslin or a nut milk bag. A tight-weave cloth is preferable, as twisting the top tightly enables you to continue squeezing out more milk.
• Heat the strained milk in a heavy-bottom pan to 212ºF (100ºC). Hold this temperature for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cool the milk and store.
• Refrigerate up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Place soy beans in a very large bowl. Add enough water so that the ratio of water to soy beans is 2 to 1; let soy beans soak overnight at room temperature.
• Drain soy beans. Working in batches, transfer soy beans to the jar of a blender. Add enough water to the jar of the blender so that the ratio of water to soy beans is 1 to 1; blend until smooth. Transfer pureed soybeans to a large bowl. Repeat process with remaining soy beans and water.
• Place 6 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in soy bean mixture using a kibera or a wooden spoon. Bring mixture to a simmer and immediately remove from heat.
• Line a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl with cheesecloth. Pour soy bean mixture into lined sieve; let stand until cooled.
• Squeeze remaining soy milk through cheesecloth; discard cheesecloth and any remaining solids.
