Making soya milk

My loupo tried to make soya-milk some weeks ago. It didn't turn out right. Tak jadi. Tasted like taugeh juice. Finally, with some tips from Mr PenaRajawali, we got it right. Here are the steps for home-made soya-milk. Tell you, it tastes much better than those boxed ones on supermarket shelves.

1. Get soya beans (half kg will do). Wash and soak in water for few hours. Change the water in between.
2. Discard the water. Put the beans in a blender. Add clean water. Blend blend blend.
3. Sieve the pulp using a cloth 'kopi powder' sieve. This will separate the soya-milk from the bean sediment. The normal sieve won't do.
4. Bring the soya-milk to boil (kill the germs), with some pandan leaves for fragrance.
5. Add sugar according to preference.

There you are. Simple and delicious home-made soya-milk. Of course it becomes even easier if you have a couple hundred ringgits to buy a soya-milk machine. Oh the bean sediments can be used as fertiliser, my farmer neighbour said. Extra pandan leaves can be used as car refreshener. Think recycle.

When I was travelling Beijing last time, hot soya-milk was always part of the local breakfast. Difference was, the China-Chinese liked it salty, I much prefered it sweet.

And why did we fail in our first attempt...? We bought the wrong beans. Hahaha...
