Soy Milk

Soy milk is a great alternative to cow's milk. It's delicious, affordable, easy to make, and only requires 2 ingredients: water and soybeans.

📝 Ingredients

• ½ cup dried soybeans
• 4 cups water
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a piece of vanilla bean
• 4 dates (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Soak the soybeans in water overnight (ideally 12 hours or longer).
2. 2Drain the soybeans and remove the outer skins. Removing the outer skins is optional, but your milk will have a better texture if you do.
3. 3Add them to a powerful blender and blend them with 3 cups of water (750 ml) until well blended and almost smooth.
4. 4Strain the blended mixture using a nut milk bag, a cheesecloth, a napkin or a fine mesh strainer.
5. 5Pour the mixture into a pot or a saucepan and add 1 cup of water (250 ml). Bring to a boil, stir and skim foam.
6. 6Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
7. 7Let cool the soy milk. You can add other ingredients such as vanilla extract or dates. Blend the mixture if necessary.
8. 8Use it to prepare recipes like vegan chocolate cake, vegan carrot cake, or vegan cheesecake.
9. 9Keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for about 3-5 days.
