Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried soybeans
- 6 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse 1 cup of dried soybeans under cold water to remove any dust or debris.
Step 2
Place the rinsed soybeans in a large bowl and cover with water, making sure the water is at least 2 inches above the beans to allow for expansion.
Step 3
Soak the soybeans for at least 8 hours or overnight at room temperature.
Step 4
Drain the soaked soybeans and peel off the skins by gently rubbing them between your hands. This step helps in achieving a smoother texture but is optional.
Step 5
Add the peeled soybeans and 4 cups of fresh water into a blender.
Step 6
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth, creamy consistency, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 7
Pour the blended mixture into a large saucepan through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to strain, ensuring all the liquid is extracted while leaving the pulp behind.
Step 8
Add an additional 2 cups of water to the filtered liquid in the saucepan to adjust the consistency.
Step 9
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
Step 10
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 11
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if using), stirring until dissolved.
Step 12
Remove from heat and let the drink cool to your desired temperature. Serve warm or chilled.
Step 13
Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before serving as separation may occur.
