I then vacuum seal and toss in the freezer. You haven't had soymilk until you make it yourselfI love making soya, and then drying the okara in my dehydrator. Fruit smoothies are very healthy because they contain soy milk and a lot of fresh fruits. With soy milk you can easily make your own fruit smoothie. The soy milk can be drunk as such but taste can be improved by adding some salt (also cow milk contains a lot of salt). Step6: Flavouring the soy milk (optional)
AfterĬooling, the soy milk is ready and can be kept in the fridge for another 3 days. Heat the soy milk till boiling point and continue boiling for about 5 to 10 minutes. The insoluble material which remains on the sieve is called okara, and can be used as an ingredient for bread making or as cattle feed. Sieve the mixture trough a cheese cloth and recover the soy milk. Step4: Grinding the soya beansGrind the soaked soya beans and 1 liter water in a blender. This heating can best be achieved by microwaving the wet soaked soya beans during 2 minutes. Heating the soya beans will destroy enzymes which are responsible for the development of beany flavour. When you use cracked soya beans you need less soaking time: 6 - 8 hours. The hulls come loose easily and can be washed away. An alternative is to crack the soya beans before soaking.
Removing the hulls makes the extraction process more efficient. Although not necessary, you can remove the hulls be kneading the soya beans and flushing the loose hulls with water. Step2: Soaking and dehulling the soya beansĬlean the soya beans and soak them in water for 10 - 16 hours. You need about 125 g whole soya beans to make 1 liter of soy milk. If you make soy milk on a daily basis you might find an automatic soymilk maker (also called soy milk machine) such as Soyajoy, Soylife, Miracle, Soyquick, Soyawonder or Vegan Star very helpful.
