Fresh Maple Vanilla Soymilk Recipes

SOY MILK

Steps:

• Drop soaked soybeans in continuous 4 cups boiling water with baking soda. Blanch for 5 mins and rinse.
• . After rinsing, add a cup of hot water and process the beans in a food processor or blender. Careful, it's hot so be sure to cover it well.
• Next, boil the remaining 7 cups of water and put in the processed beans and sugar/maple syrup/vanilla for 20 mins stirring occasionally and removing the thin film formed on top.
• Strain the bean particles using a cheesecloth. The soy milk would be hot so this serves as a warning. Either use silicon gloves, or press the spatula against the cheesecloth to strain out the liquid.
• Drink hot or cold and can last til a week in a ref.
• Freeze or use the okara (bean residue) for other recipes.

FRESH MAPLE VANILLA SOYMILK

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cover the soybeans in 6 cups of water.
• Make sure they are submerged completely.
• Set aside and leave to soak overnight.
• When beans have finished soaking (about 8-10 hours), drain out excess water.
• In a kettle or small pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
• In a blender or food processor, blend one-third of the beans with one cup of boiling water until pureed.
• Pour into a large stock pot and set aside.
• Repeat twice with the remaining two-thirds of the beans and add to stock pot.
• Add 7 cups of cold water to the bean puree and slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
• Once boiled, remove from heat immediately, cover with lid, and set aside to cool.
• Once cool enough to safely handle, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or a metal strainer into a pot.
• Discard the pulp.
• Add the vanilla and syrup to the milk and cook for 30 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, in a double boiler.
• (If you don't have a double boiler, you can use two different-sized pots. Put the milk in the smaller pot and water in the larger one.) Transfer to a pitcher or container and refrigerate.
• Stays fresh for 5-7 days.
