Soy Milk

Making your own soy milk takes a little time, but it’s very easy, it will last for a week in the refrigerator, and you don’t need to worry about any additives.

Yield 1 quart
Time 5 minutes (plus overnight soaking)
Tools
  • large bowl
  • blender or food processor
  • colander or sieve
  • muslin or fine cheesecloth
Ingredients
  • 1 c dry soybeans, well rinsed
  • 1Q + 3c water
Directions Place the soybeans and 3 c water in bowl, and leave to soak overnight. Drain and rinse beans.

Purée beans and 1 Q water in blender.

Line the colander with muslin and place over bowl. Pour soy milk purée through muslin into bowl, then squeeze the muslin to release remaining liquid.

Season as desired and chill.

Notes Since there are no additives, this does not taste exactly like commercial soy milk. If you want to drink it, experiment with additions like sugar, brown rice syrup, salt, vanilla, and a dash of mild vegetable oil to improve the flavor. For baking, however, you can use it to replace dairy milk as is.
