Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I make fresh soy milk (stovetop method) every 2-3 days. I keep drooling over a Soyabella but haven't justfied spending the oney, because mine is so good. As part of my routine, after soaking the beans, I place them in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes and rub them together to remove as many of the outermost transparent coating on the beans, as I find this eliminates most if not all of the beany taste. This process takes a long time - well not really, only about 5-10 minutes, but it seems like a long time. My question is, has anyone who makes homemade soy milk ever tried to use a food mill to do this step. I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to buy one and how effectively it would remove those out shells and allow everything else to get in. That's my question, and of course, I always welcome other suggestions on how to make this process go quicker.
