Soy Milk

Step 1

Rinse the soybeans thoroughly with water and soak them overnight in water.

Step 2

The next day, discard the water and rinse the soybeans a few times. Remove the soybean skins as much as you can. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a blender, blend the soybeans in five (batches. Add 3 cups of water to each batch of soy beans and blend well.

Step 4

Transfer the blended mixture into a big 8-quart stock pot. Repeat the same until all soybeans are blended.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil on medium heat. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. As soon as it boils, lower the heat to low and simmer for about 5- 10 minutes or until the soy milk reduces to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Turn off the heat once the soy milk is done. Use a cheese cloth or cloth coffee filter (you can get it on Amazon) to filter out the soybean residue. You may use a ladle to press down on the soybean residue to extract all soy milk. Discard the residue.

Step 7

Add sugar to taste before serving the soy milk.

Step 8

If you like salty soy milk, do not add sugar. You can add fried youtiao or Chinese crullers. Cut them into pieces and add them into the soy milk for a substantial breakfast.
