Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 How to make soy milk? It's very easy to make _soy milk_ (http://www.soya.be/soy-milk.php) at home. If you make soy milk on a daily basis you might find a soy milk maker (or soy milk machine such as Soyajoy, Soylife, Miracle...) very helpful. Step1: Ingredients You need about 125 g whole soya beans to make 1 liter of soy milk. Step2: Soaking and dehulling the soya beans Clean the soya beans and soak them in water for 10 - 16 hours. Although not necessary, you can remove the hulls be kneading the soya beans and flushing the loose hulls with water. Removing the hulls makes the extraction process more efficient. An alternative is to crack the soya beans before soaking. The hulls comes easily loose and can be washed away. When you use cracked soya beans you need less soaking time: 6 - 8 hours. Step3: Heating the soya beans (optional) Heating the soya beans will destroy enzymes which are responsible for the development of beany flavour. This heating can best be achieved by microwaving the wet soaked soya beans during 2 minutes. Step4: Grinding the soya beans Grind the soaked soyabeans and 1 liter water in a blender. Sieve the mixture trough a cheese cloth and recover the soy milk. The insoluble material which remains on the sieve is called okara, and can be used as an ingredient for bread making or as cattle feed. Step5: Boiling the soy milk Heat the soy milk till boiling point and continue boiling for about 5 to 10 minutes. After cooling, the soy milk is ready and can be kept in the fridge for another 3 days. Step6: Flavouring the soy milk (optional) The soy milk can be drunk as such but taste can be improved by adding some salt (also cow milk contains a lot of salt). With soy milk you can easily make your own _fruit smoothie_ (http://www.soya.be/recipes/smoothie-recipes.php) . Fruit smoothies are very healthy because they contain soy milk and a lot of fresh fruits.
