Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I made my own soy milk using a blender and the recipe below. It is quite easy. Now there is no need to purchase the soy milk maker. http://www.ellenskitchen.com/faqs/tofumilk.html#oldsoy I also drained the soy milk into another container. Took some of the okara at the bottom, added a little bit of salt/pepper/curry powder and am eating it. It tasted excellent and made great breakfast !! This also helps to avoid the filtration step. Tofu Recipe: http://www.recipecottage.com/vegetarian/homemade-tofu01.html This sounded easy, another easy path to explore ! Couldn't resist trying this: Added a Tablespoon of White Vinegar to a cup of hot soy milk and allowed it to cool. The curds did form, I allowed them to settle down, filtered and then pressed the curds in the cheese cloth real dry and then placed the lump on my plate ! Tasted it a bit ! Yes, I made my OWN TOFU ! The trick when using soy milk is to use it in: 1. making coffee/tea 2. make flavored soy milk eg., strawberry flavored 3. use soy milk in other recipes that call for milk for eg., soup/baking etc., That way the bean taste is almost absent. This is one of the most useful projects that I have ever attempted. For a one dollar worth of soy beans, I can get $13 worth of soy milk and okara approx. By the way, the soy beans were not even bought in bulk, they were a small pack and most expensive. If I buy soybeans in bulk then I can expect much better savings/returns. Wish I had started doing this much, much earlier. Wish I had tried this earlier. Now no more need to haul all that soy milk in the winter. I can buy soy beans and store at home in advance, then make my soy milk whenever I want !! This also opens the door for me for a wide variety of soy milk related products now to explore in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi vijay, you make it sound so easy, it is worth exploring, plus theres less waste to the environment, if cartons are eliminated. We have a health food store nearby which sells soybeans by weight. where you able to get organic ones? now, I bet almond milk has got to be hard!?! with tofu, I usually make puddings. , " rvijay " <rvijay07@m...> wrote: > > I made my own soy milk using a blender and the recipe below.

Anyone who wants soy milk has a blender needs to attempt this atleast once. No, not organic yet. Maybe next time. Everything else I eat is not organic. So I guess it doesn't matter.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 hi jonnie, don't know much about this subject. maybe fraggle knows more. but it is my understanding that, non-organic soybeans = monsanto I don't know about nutritionally, but politically, they are a problem my friends from argentina hate, hate, hate, monsanto. because, monsanto is clearing ancient forests, where native indians live, tigers, jaguars and all kinds of animals and their habitat. same thing in brazil. I think that greenpeace currently has a campaign against them. , Jonnie Hellens <jonnie_hellens> wrote: > > How bad are the GMO soybeans for us? > > rvijay <rvijay07@m...> wrote: , " Anouk Sickler " <zurumato@e...> wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
