Ingredients

• 1 cup dried soybeans
• 6 cups water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (e.g., agave syrup, honey, or sugar)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or dust.

Step 2

Place the soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with 3-4 cups of water. Allow the soybeans to soak overnight, or for at least 8-10 hours, until they have doubled in size.

Step 3

Drain the soybeans and rinse them again under fresh water.

Step 4

Place the soaked soybeans into a blender and add 3 cups of fresh water. Blend on high until smooth and no large pieces remain.

Step 5

Line a large mixing bowl with a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Pour the blended soybean mixture through the cloth, twisting to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Step 6

Transfer the filtered liquid (soybean milk) into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining 3 cups of water and place over medium heat.

Step 7

Bring the soya bean milk to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the milk to cool slightly. Stir in the optional vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener.

Step 10

Pour the soya bean milk into a glass bottle or jar for storage. It can be served warm or chilled and will last for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
