How to Make Soya Milk

  1. Soak 1 cup of soybeans in 4 cups of water overnight (at least 8 hours).
  2. Ensure the soybeans are fully submerged in water throughout the soaking process.
  3. Drain the soaked soybeans and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Blend the soybeans with 8 cups of fresh water in a high-speed blender in batches, until completely smooth and creamy. This may take several minutes.
  5. Line a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth-lined sieve over a large bowl. Pour the blended mixture into the strainer, allowing the soy milk to drip through. Gently press on the pulp to extract as much milk as possible.
  6. Pour the filtered soy milk into a pot. Add 1/4 cup of sugar (or to taste) and a pinch of salt.
  7. Bring the soy milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  8. Once the soy milk has reached a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
