Nourishing Homemade Soy Milk Recipe

Hi all! We mentioned in a previous post about the benefits of non-dairy milk. If you have lots of time to spare (6 hours in fact) and are feeling adventurous, try out this non-dairy, fully plant-based soy milk recipe from Samira over at Alpha Foodie!

Items:

Soy-Milk-1-of-7

Ingredients for Soy Milk:

  • 1 cup (240g) soybeans

  • 8 cups (1920g) filtered water

Ingredients for flavoring:

  • Medjool dates (optional)

  • maple syrup (optional)

  • vanilla extract (optional)

  • cinnamon (optional)

  • cacao powder (optional)

Soy-Milk-Steps-1-of-9

Preparations (Overnight):

  1. Soak the soybeans for 6 hours or overnight. 

  2. Let the soybeans grow from 2-3x their size.

  3. Leave the soybeans as it is, or peel them for a smoother texture once blended.

Blending:

  1. Put the beans in a blender/processor and blend for 10-15 seconds. This is just to soften the beans.

  2. Pour in water and blend it until it reaches a creamy texture.

  3. Strain the blended mixture into a large pot to prevent any plant matter from burning at the bottom of the pot during boiling. 

  4. Bubble the mixture to a boil, then let it cook for 3-4 minutes.

  1. Gradually skim off the foam that forms on top of the mixture. Do this often.

  2. Lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, making sure you keep stirring to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.

  3. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. 

Soy-Milk-Steps-5-of-9

  1. Pour the soy milk through a nut milk bag into a bowl.

Soy-Milk-Steps-7-of-9

  1. Squeeze the bag to get all the liquid out. 

  2. Pour the milk into a bottle and keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Flavoring:

  1. Add any of the following to taste: crushed Medjool dates, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon or cacao powder.

  2. If you have trouble digesting beans, adding a splash of apple cider vinegar while soaking them can help remove phytic acid without changing the flavor.

Soy-Milk-Steps-8-of-9

Serving:

  1. This recipe has a fridge life of 5 days and a freezer life of 6 months. May vary.

  2. Serves 6 cups (1440g) based on measurements. 

Notes from the Chef:

  1. If the milk in the bottle starts to smell or taste sour, it has spoiled. Throw immediately or use it to water your plants.

  2. You can also freeze soy milk for 3-6 months, but the texture might change a little (the nutrition stays the same).
