How do you make your soy milk?

I’ve found so many variations e.g.

soak for 6 hours (minimize fermentation), soak for 3 days (to maximize available nutrients and purge phytic acid);

scrub to remove skins, or don’t;

change water…or don’t;

blend, boil, strain;

blend, strain, boil;

boil, blend, no straining;

Boil no more than 15 minutes or it will taste like miso paste Vs 20 minutes…Vs longer because beans take a long time to cook

extra condiments or thickeners Vs just sugar.

Sooo…has anyone tried a few of these to tell me which differences to expect?

I was leaning towards soak 24h, scrub skins, boil 15m, blend (my blender is not that strong, so that’s why I’m boiling first, add sugar (no straining).

Is there a configuration that is less bitter or closer to nut milk? I’m trying to understand why I am doing things, so that I can control it, otherwise I’m just following random recipes and tweaking with no idea what’s happening :P

PS: m.youtube.com/watch?v=GWoP0lc-KqY&pp=ygUIc295… added this recipe with the “burnt pan” trick.

DerisionConsulting,

My favourite recipe for soy milk is: Go to work, then buy it on the walk home using about 10 minutes of wages.

I tried making milks a few times, and just like foods like perogies, I found the correct answer was just buying it. I just can’t compete with the quality, or the price, or the effort just buying it.

But if you find that it’s a fun hobby, veel plezier

Sounds like this “vegan cooking” community is dead, if all the replies I get are “cooking is for minimum wage and unemployed people”. lol

Store bought soy milk is really overpriced (margins of at least 50%), the typical price gouging that makes vegan products a luxury instead of the staple they should be :(

Besides, I want to find out whether homemade does have that special taste.

CowsLookLikeMaps,

We can keep it active. :) Their attitude was a bit condescending to be honest and doesn’t belong on a community literally for cooking your own food.
