Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Silk soy milk. Actually I just drink the chocolate. I use vanilla on cereal at times. I never was a big milk drinker (except for chocolate). Gary --- Steph <mrswalp29 wrote: > I would love to know what everyone drinks soy milk > or rice?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I like Pearl lowfat soy but it's expensive & I only can buy it on sale. I found some West Soy nonfat at the dollar store and am going back for the rest of the batch today. Most of the plain soy, rice and nut milks are way too sweet for me - icky. In summer I love lemonade and limeade best or sun tea made with Sri Lankan tea and a little fresh mint. I make flavored simple syrups to put in my tea so I don't get that blob of half melted sugar in the bottom of the glass. Oh, and sangria - I love that in the summer.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I love soy milk, never did like cow's milk even as a child but haveto have soy milk for my cereal and baking. Susan G. Vacaville, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I like making homemade soymilk from the fresh beans, with just a little brown sugar and salt added (tablespoon and 1/2 teaspoon to 1/2 gallon respectively). I keep forgetting to try it with some rice added in too. But I like to drink the straight soy and put it on cereal. But if I don't have or want to make cereal, I can skip making it for a week or more except for making a big batch of soy yogurt. I just swap out a cup of the yogurt milk to feed the fil mjolk culture and keep it happy. I also like to drink kombucha tea, which is a homemade, sweetened, probiotic drink that tastes alot like apple cider. You ferment it in a conversation-provoking jar with a captive little slime monster! I used to make gingerbeer too, (homemade soda pop, also fermented with another slime-monster) but that was too much sugar to drink.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 -I don't 'drink' either soy or rice milk but I do use them in cooking. The exception being in the winter I prepare a hot decaf coffee made with chocolate soy milk,vanilla and raw cane sugar. My favorite summer drink is iced green tea. I sometimes drink Jasmine or Mint tea. My first cold drink of the day is fresh squeezed organic lemons in purified water. I often sweeten it with organic cane sugar. My breakfast drink is hot decaf green tea sometimes with honey and lemon.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 hell everyone, homemade soy milk for cooking, baking or just simple drinks. if you like to try to make at home, here is how you can do it...i hope this is helpful...happy cooking ^^) yOkO Preparation of Soymilk at Home for Drinking -alternate recipe- uses blanching with baking soda, which reduces the B vitamin content, makes 6 cups Ingredients 1 cup whole soaked soybeans, that were cleaned and soaked overnight 14 cups of boiling water, 1 quart at a time 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon at a time 1-2 oz sugar, rice syrup or maple syrup(60 g) (sugar added varies according to taste*) 3/4-1 teaspoon salt Method 1. Use clean good quality soybeans that are free from dirt. Remove cracked, damaged and discolored soybeans. 2. Bring 4 cups water to a vigorous boil and add 1 tsp. baking soda. 3. Drop 1 cup soaked soybeans directly into the rapidly boiling water and blanch for 5 minutes. 4. Drain and rinse with hot water (if available). 5. Drop the rinsed soybeans directly into a fresh 4 cups vigorously boiling water containing 1 tsp. baking soda and blanch for 5 minutes. 6. Drain and rinse with hot water (if available). 7. Grind the blanched soybeans with 4-6 cups very hot water (near boiling) for 3 minutes using a blender set at high speed. The lid MUST be held on or the cover will blow off, spewing hot soymilk everywhere. 8. You will probably need two batches. Filter the raw soymilk by pouring it through several layers of cheese cloth. After the soy slurry in the cheese cloth has cooled to a safe temperature to avoid burning your hands, rinse raw okara with 1/2 cup boiled water and hand squeeze the cheese cloth to extract as much of the remaining soymilk as possible. Set aside the raw okara or freeze for other recipes. 9. In a pot at least twice the volume of your soymilk, add salt and sweetener. Simmer (cook near boil) for 20 minutes. Bring soy milk to a boil over high heat, stirring the bottom of the pot frequently, this can take 15 minutes. Then turn heat down and simmer for about 7 minutes. Stir occasionally. 9a. Or, for scorch prevention you can heat soy milk uncovered for 30 minutes in a double boiler, stirring occassionally to prevent a film on top from forming. Add water to replace any water lost during boiling. Note, You can also remove the skin carefully in sheets and dry it draped over chopsticks all over you kitchen. This is Yuba, which is used in Chinese cooking to make wonderful mock meats, wraps and casings. Serve soy milk hot or cold. Cover and refrigerate remainder, for up to 10 days, or consume by the end of the day if you do not have refrigeration. * Flavors may be added according to preference. genny_y2k <genny_y2k wrote: -I don't 'drink' either soy or rice milk but I do use them in cooking.
