How to Make Soy Milk

Posted by nicki on Aug 1, 2012 in Uncategorized

Soak soy beans overnight (6 to 10 hours)

Place soaked beans into blender with enough water to process and blend.

Pour blended beans into a large pot to cook.

Bring blended beans to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. While this cooks skim off the foam and discard.

When done strain into another pot covered with cheesecloth. Squeeze out the solids and retain. The solids are called ‘okara’.

Pour milk into jars. Leave on counter to cool. Then refrigerate.
