• Soak the soy beans overnight in plenty of fresh water.
• 
• In the morning you will see, they have almost doubled in size and changed their shape from rounded balls into more of a bean shape.
• 
• Gentle scrubbing should remove the outer skin.
• 
• Scrub under running water and keep discarding the skins that come off.
• 
• Remove as much of the skin as possible.
• 
• Rinse the beans once again.
• 
• Add the soy beans in batches, with enough water and blend well – 2-3 minutes.
• 
• The blended solution will be slightly grainy. This is normal.
• Add the mixture into a large pot. (Non stick is best)
• 
• Bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon. Do not leave the kitchen. Keep an eye on it or the milk will boil over and create unnecessary cleanup!
• 
• Continue to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 
• Remove the frothy scum that forms over the simmering soy milk.
• 
• Remove occasionally till there is very little foamy residue on top. Do not go overboard and remove the pulp 🙂 .
• 
• Now strain the milk through a muslin cloth.
• 
• Wait for the pulp to cool down.  (It’s very hot). Then squeeze the cloth to strain as much milk as possible.
• 
• Now add as much boiled water as needed to achieve the consistency that you like. Some like it very strong. Some a little more dilute.
• Add sugar to taste.
• Serve hot or Chill completely and serve cold!
• We love it cold! If you’ve got a cold/flu however, it’s super served hot!
