How to Make Soy Milk
- Rinse 1 cup of dried soybeans thoroughly under cold water.
- Place soybeans in a large bowl and cover with 6 cups of filtered water. Soak for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Drain the soaking water and rinse the soybeans again.
- Combine the soaked soybeans and 8 cups of fresh filtered water in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Strain the blended mixture through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine-mesh sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth. Squeeze the bag firmly to extract as much soy milk as possible.
- Return the strained soy milk to the blender (optional). Add a pinch of salt and sweetener to taste, then blend again briefly to combine.
- Pour the soy milk into airtight containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Soy milk will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
