Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Ok....my first attempt at making soy milk~ I don't know if I will try it again-I am thinking I will go with almond milk. It was super messy. Does anyone have any tips on straining it? I must be doing something wrong. I am ashamed to admit this was my first attempt at using cheesecloth in the kitchen:) It was like thick putty to begin with...How is that supposed to go thru cheesecloth?! I must have poured the milk thru 10 times before I was pleased with my product. This recipe is from Country Life Vegetarian cookbook: To prepare beans: 1c. dry soybeans 1/2 c coconut Soak beans overnight in about 5 c cool water. Next morning rinse and drain. (1c dry beans=approx 2 & 1/2 c. soaked) Put soaked soybeans into saucepan with 5c water and the coconut. COver and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer on medium-high heat for 25 min. Immediately remove from heat. To make milk: 1c water 2Tbs honey 2tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 3c water Measure 1 c cooked beans and coconut from saucepan and put into blender. Add all but the last ingredient and blend on high 2-3 minutes until creamy. Stop blender and add remaining water measurement. Blend briefly. Strain milk 2-3 times through cheesecloth or nylon stocking. Pour into pitcher. Repeat above procedure with another cup of beans. Add to pitcher and chill Yield: 2 & 1/2 qts. soy milk Note:milk freezes well. After thawing blend briefly before using.
