If you want some sweet flavours. add sugar, to taste and optional
1) Place 1 cup of dry soy beans in a bowl and fill with water. Wash the soy beans. Allow to soak for overnight in a cool place. (Change the water at least once and if needed add more water if beans soak it up)The next day beans should be hydrated and doubled in size.
2) Place a cheese bag and set on top of large pot.
3) Add 1 cup of soaked soybeans in the blender then add either 2-3 cups of water. Cover and blend for about 3 minutes until the beans have completely broken down.
4) Pour liquid into the cheese bag. Allow straining for a few minutes then bringing all the ends of the cheese bag together and twist until all the liquid is squeezed out.
5) Remove the ground soybean / okara and set aside. Place cheese bag. blend the next batch. Repeat until all of the soybeans have been processed and strained. There are 2 batches with the amount of beans I soaked.

Helpful Tips:
1) If you are allergic to soy, please try almond milk or rice milk.
2) Prevent a messy spill by keeping heat down and eye on it. otherwise it will make an ugly mess on the stove.
3) Turn the heat off and allow the milk to completely cool. Scoop out the skin or film that forms on top.
4) You do have to let the dried beans soak for several hours, but the active time involved in making the soy milk is around 25-30 minutes.

6) Soaking the beans overnight for a minimum of 10 hours will really help in easier blending and better milking. Either a cheese or muslin cloth can be used for straining. (cheese bag works really well and saves messing about with muslin cloth and bits of string). I used a total of 6 ½ cups of water. you choose how thick you want the soy milk by either adding more or less water.
