Soybean Milk

"This recipe makes a delicious soybean milk. I've already made it twice. The 2nd time was easier. From now on, I'll always use my food processor, less messy than the blender. During the soaking stage, ..." See moreI removed as many bean skins as I could, for a smoother taste. I strained the mashed beans + liquid twice - first, through a fine strainer without cheesecloth, and then through the same strainer lined with cheesecloth. I didn't bother with vanilla or ginger, since we don't mind the taste of soybean milk. We just add a little sugar when we're having a glass of the delicious liquid. It's more flexible that way anyway. The final product makes all the work worthwhile. Furthermore, I read on the Net one could use the soybean grounds (okara) in recipes. Great! For soybean milk lovers. "

"I'm not sure how to rate this but I did comment on my experience with this. The things I like about this are that you can make your own soymilk and know what is going into it. Also, you can adjust t..." See morehe flavor and sweetness to taste. However, some cautions to first-time makers. It is more complicated than it looks -- the straining is quite difficult, as quite a large amount is strained out. I ended up squeezing mine through the cheesecloth; otherwise it would have had to sit and strain for quite awhile! I think I let a bit too much through, but it is fine and not noticeably thick. Also, I had hoped that this would be a money-saver, but you have to use quite a lot of soybeans to get a little bit of milk, so I don't think it's economical in the long run. Also, I did think the taste was very good, though I could get used to it. My other question is why is the calorie and fat content so high? I used artificial sweetener rather than sugar to cut back on calories, but I am concerned about the fat."

"I make my own Soybean milk, and this recipe is definitely workable. I agree with a reviewer that we have to squeeze the soybean milk out of the strainer/cheese cloth. And yes, you can use the leftover..." See more ground soybeans in recipes. For a healthy twist, I mix this with an equal amount of ground beef to make my own burgers. If the burgers do not stick well, just add a bit of corn starch to the mixture. Season with salt, black pepper & your choice of herbs to taste. :-)"
