Ingredients
The quantities follow this count.
How to cook it
-
Soak the dried soybeans in plenty of water overnight, or at least 8 hours, until plump.
-
Drain and rinse the soaked beans, then blend with the fresh water until smooth (a soy milk machine does this and the straining in one step).
-
Strain the mixture through a fine cloth or sieve into a pot, pressing to extract as much milk as possible; discard the pulp or save it for another use.
-
Bring the strained milk to a full boil over medium heat, stirring often to stop it catching, then simmer 5 minutes to cook off the raw, grassy taste.
-
Sweeten with the sugar to taste and serve hot.
