Step 1: Preparing the Soybeans

• Select Quality Soybeans: Choose fresh, organic soybeans for the best results.
• Soak the Soybeans:
  • Rinse the soybeans in water to remove impurities.
  • Soak the soybeans in water for 8-12 hours to soften them.
• Drain and Rinse: After soaking, drain the water and rinse the soybeans again to ensure they are clean.

Step 2: Blending the Soybeans

• Blend with Water:
  • Add the soaked soybeans to a blender with fresh water. A common ratio is 1 cup of soybeans to 3 cups of water.
  • Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
• Strain the Mixture:
  • Use a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer to separate the soy milk from the soybean pulp (okara).
  • Gather the cloth edges and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Step 3: Cooking the Soy Milk

• Transfer to a Pot: Pour the strained soy milk into a large pot.
• Heat the Soy Milk:
  • Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  • Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
• Add Flavorings (Optional): You can enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or sweeteners like sugar or honey during the cooking process.

Step 4: Cooling and Storing

• Cool the Soy Milk: Remove the pot from heat and let the soy milk cool down to room temperature.
• Store Properly:
  • Transfer the cooled soy milk into clean, airtight containers.
  • Refrigerate and use within 3-5 days for the best quality.

Step 5: Utilizing the Okara

• What to Do with Okara:
  • Don’t throw away the leftover soybean pulp (okara). It is nutritious and can be used in various recipes.
  • Incorporate okara into baked goods, soups, or as a base for veggie burgers.

Conclusion

Making nutritious soy milk at home is a simple process that involves preparing, blending, cooking, and storing. This plant-based beverage is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. Additionally, finding creative ways to use okara can minimize waste and enhance your meals.
