Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried soy beans
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • sweetner of choice optional

Instructions

Method #1 - Using the Hurom Juicer

  1. Measure 1 cup of dry soybeans and place in a colander. Rinse under cool water in the sink. Place rinsed beans in a large bowl and add water to cover beans 2-3 inches above beans. Cover and allow to soak for 8-10 hours. Keep an eye on the beans and add additional water as needed to keep beans covered with water.

  2. NOTE:  The soybeans are ready when they have doubled in size and come apart easily. Drain water from beans and return beans to bowl.

  3. Set up the Hurom juicer using the fine strainer. Prepare your station with the juicer, drain tray, pulp collector tray, hydrated beans and 2 cups of filtered water.

  4. Before adding beans to chute make sure the lever valve is in the closed position. Add beans to juicer chute alternating beans and water. Before adding the last scoop of beans open the lever valve. Add the last scoop of beans and water until all soybeans are processed. Once the juice is extracted from the beans the holding chamber will begin filling up. Once the milk gets to the 16 ounce mark empty holding chamber. This may need to be emptied 2-3 times during the process. This recipe will make 2 cups of soy milk.

  5. Transfer liquid to a pot. Place on stove and cook on high. Boil for about 2 minutes (add flavoring if desired). Allow to cool then transfer to a glass milk jar and store in refrigerator. Soy milk is good for 3 -5 days.

Method #2 - Using a Blender

  1. Same as method 1: Measure 1 cup of soy beans and place in a colander. Rinse under cool water in the sink. Place rinsed beans in a large bowl and add water to cover beans 2-3 inches above beans. Cover and allow to soak for 8-10 hours. Keep an eye on the beans and add additional water as needed to keep beans covered with water. 

  2. Place beans in the blender along with 2 cups of filtered water. Blend on high until mixture is smooth. 

  3. Strain the soybean liquid using an all-purpose reusable food strainer like this nut bag (a cheesecloth will work too). Hold the bag over a bowl and carefully pour the blended nut liquid into the nut bag. Allow liquid to drain completely from bag. You can assist with the draining process by twisting the top of the nut bag or cheesecloth. Continue to gently twist or wring to assist liquid to pass through bag.  

  4. Transfer liquid to a pot. Place on stove and cook on high. Boil for about 2 minutes (add flavoring if desired). Allow to cool then transfer to a glass milk jar and store in refrigerator. Soy milk is good for 3 -5 days. 

Method #3 - Using the SoyaJoy

  1. Same as method 1: Measure 1 cup of soybeans and place in a colander. Rinse under cool water in the sink. Place rinsed beans in a large bowl and add water to cover beans 2-3 inches above beans. Cover and allow to soak for 8-10 hours. Keep an eye on the beans and add additional water as needed to keep beans covered with water. 

  2. Using the SoyaJoy add specified amount of water as recommended per manufacturer instructions to machine and add soaked beans (flavoring can be added at this time if desired). Follow manufacturers instructions for blending. When done blending strain and store in glass milk jar. Let cool completely and refrigerate. Soy milk is good for 3 -5 days.
