HOW IS SOY MILK MADE?

Step 1: Soaking The Beans

Rinse the soybeans well with water and put them into a small bowl.
Soak 42.5 g soybeans in 2 or 3 cups of water. Add a sufficient amount of water so that beans covered in water by approx. 5- 6 cm.
Soak them overnight and in the morning check that they easily split or not when you squeeze. If yes then beans are done.
Now split one and look inside it. If it is flat and buttercup yellow, it is ready to use for soy milk for hair growth.
If you fail any of the above steps, let the bean soak for a few more hours. The soaking time recommend by us is 10-18 hours and depends on the quality of beans.
Remove the water using the colander, and reserve the water until you get a total of 2 liters of water.

Step 2: Time To Grind The Beans

Take approx. 1.25 liter of water and heat it over medium to high flame. If you have a non-stick pot, then use it, because it will make cleaning easy.
Take 500ml of reserved water and grind the beans using blinder or mixture. Grind until it looks like a thick shake or milkshake.
Pour this thick puree into hot water. Rinse the jar or blender with 125 ml of the reserved water and add into pot.
Step 3: Cook The Mixture Of Beans
Now on a medium flame cook the soybean mixture for 4 to 6 minutes. Stir it with wood spatula stirring the bottom frequently with a wooden spoon so it may not stick at the bottom of a pot.

Step 5: Pressing The Beans

Now pour the mixture slowly in the cloth and when the cloth is full, wait till the milk strain. Repeat the procedure until you are done with the full mixture.
Now press the cloth and strain the milk. Now collect the ends of muslin cloth and twist it.
If it is too hot for you, let it cool and follow the above procedure and extract more soy milk.
You can extract more milk by pressing the cloth. In the end, add 125 ml of reserved water and stir it less look like polenta. Now follow the pressing and twisting to extract milk.
