Ingredients
- 1 cup dried soybeans
- 7 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (optional, e.g., sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly rinsing 1 cup of dried soybeans in a strainer under cool running water to remove any dust or debris.
Step 2
Place the rinsed soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with water, ensuring they are fully submerged by at least 2 inches. Let the soybeans soak overnight or for at least 8-12 hours, allowing them to double in size.
Step 3
After soaking, drain and rinse the soybeans once more to remove any excess starch or impurities.
Step 4
Transfer the soaked soybeans to a blender and add 4 cups of water. Blend the mixture for about 2-3 minutes on high speed until the soybeans are finely ground and the mixture is homogenous.
Step 5
Prepare a large pot and line it with a nut milk bag or several layers of cheesecloth, ensuring the edges hang over the pot. Slowly pour the blended soybean mixture into the lined pot.
Step 6
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth or nut milk bag and carefully squeeze out all the liquid into the pot. This is your raw soybean milk. Discard the soybean pulp or save it for another use, such as baking or composting.
Step 7
Add 3 more cups of water to the pot with the soybean milk. Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Bring the soybean milk to a gentle boil, stirring regularly to prevent scorching. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Skim off any foam that may form on the surface.
Step 9
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener, if using, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 10
Let the soybean drink cool to a safe drinking temperature. You may strain it again through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure smoothness, if desired.
Step 11
Store the high protein soybean drink in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Shake well before serving.
