Soya Bean Milk

            I love this drink - soya bean milk. My family enjoys this drink.  I do not like the ready made ones sold in bottles in restaurants and makan shops. I usually buy them from the random stalls as you can get fresh soya bean milk. Anyway nothing like making your own home-made soya bean milk. The main ingredients are soya beans, rock sugar and pandan leaves. You blend the soaked beans in a blender, strain the milk using a muslin bag/cheese cloth, boil the strained milk with pandan leaves and .....you get soya bean milk!

            I recently bought a blender which comes with a special filter add-on to extract soya bean milk from the soaked beans. It has an inner filter where you place the beans and the pulp will be contained inside the filter whereas the milk will be filtered out through the tiny tiny holes. Using this blender is so convenient. No need of a muslin bag or siever. Home made soya bean milk is not diluted as the ones you buy and furthermore is so so much more rich and refreshing.

 Ingredients:
125 gm organic soya beans
1 liter water
rock sugar
pandan leaves

How to Make:
Soak the soya beans in water overnight

Place the beans a little at a time into the filter attached to the blender, add water till it covers the beans and  whizz it for at least a minute.

Pour the filtered milk into a container. Remove the pulp contained inside the filter.

Repeat the steps until all the beans have been blended.

Do it one more time with the collected pulp - this filtered milk will not be so thick.

Transfer the milk into a saucepan, add pandan leaves (tied into a knot) and bring to a  gentle simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring with a ladle regularly.

Pour some into a glass, add rock sugar which has been dissolved in some hot water and enjoy this home-made organic soya bean milk!

This soya bean milk can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
