question about soy milk

[Guest guest]

I detest milk.  Soy milk tastes better but to me I adore rfce milk.  I grew up

on homemade rice milk and it's a very thin texture and doesn't remind me of milk

at all, light refreshing taste.

[vegetarian_ group] Soy Beans prep question

 

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.

 

Thanks in advance,

Pete
