300 g of soybeans
4 L of water
Caster sugar (to taste)

Preparation

1 h 05

To prepare 2 liters of the drink,
Soak 300 g of soybeans in cold water overnight.
After this soaking step (the skin should come off easily under the fingers if they are not already dehulled),
Rinse the soy well. It is not essential to remove the skin surrounding the bean, but the presence of the skin will give a more pronounced taste to the milk. The rehydrated yellow soybeans swell during soaking; they double their original weight in about 24 hours and change shape, starting round and becoming oval like a white bean after soaking.
Grind the soy, preferably in a blender, with a little water taken from the 2 liters.
Pour the resulting porridge into a large saucepan with the rest of the 2 liters of water. Heat over low heat until boiling, stirring constantly, until there is no more foam (boiling the preparation for 35 minutes would be safer to remove the toxicity of yellow soy).
Watch carefully, as this mixture rises in the pan like animal milk when boiling.
Sweeten (optional) during cooking. Let cool.
Strain the preparation through a sieve (a metal sieve with very fine mesh works well) or in a colander lined with cheesecloth, to collect the "milk." The soy milk flows through the strainer. Press to extract as much juice as possible. This recipe makes about 1.5 liters of soy milk. Pour the soy milk into sterilized bottles. Keep refrigerated and consume within 48 hours.
