Ingredients: - Soya Beans - 4 cups - Water - 2 liters (you can add more depending on your desired consistency) - Sweetener (sugar, vanilla extract, dates, coffee etc.) - to taste
Procedure:
1. Soak the soya beans overnight. They will double in size during this time. 2. Wash the soaked soya beans thoroughly. 3. Blend the soya beans with the 2 liters of water until you get a smooth mixture. 4. Take a chiffon cloth or a fine-mesh strainer and extract the milk from the soya bean mixture, separating the milk from the soya bean pulp (chaff). 5. Transfer the extracted soya milk to a pot and cook it over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from spilling over. 6. Allow the soya milk to cook for 30-40 minutes, until it starts to boil. 7. At this stage, you can add your sweetener of choice (sugar, vanilla extract, dates, coffee etc.) and stir to dissolve it while the milk is still hot. 8. Allow the soya milk to cool down. During this time, a layer of clot develop on top. 9. Using a strainer, sieve the soya milk one last time to remove any remaining clot. 10. Your homemade soya milk is now ready to be served, preferably chilled.
