throughout the world

as an alternative to normal cows milk, but did you know you can make it in your own home?

and it is so much cheaper to so at the end of this video keep on watching and you will see

just how cheap it is

So join me today as we make soy milk.

So we are going to start of with our soy beans

Now you should be able to find these at most supermarkets. But if you can't thy should also be

available at most Asian supermarkets as well

Now mist soy beans are dried like this. So what we are going to do is grab a bowl and place our soy beans in the bowl

Now for this i really recommend filtered water

because these beans are going to soak up all the water and the taste

So if posible use filtered water

So just fill the bowl up with the water

You probably don't need this much water but you want to make sure

the soy beans are completely covered in the water

because what their going to do now is soak up all this water and

double in size

this is going to take a about eight hours

So what i recommend to do is soak them the night before

and they will be ready the next day

So i have had these soaking over night

and they have almost tripled in size

So now we are going to out these into another container with water

and we are going to rub them between our fingers

in the palm of your hand

and this is going to remove the skin from the beans

Now for this step we are going to use a blender, any blender will do.

So the ratio is one cup of soy beans

to about three and a half cups of water

If posible try and use filtered water

Again the filtered water removes that extra taste

So what we are going to do is blend this for about two minutes

But preferably three minutes

okay so i have a bowl here

with a strainer just on top

But most importantly some cheese cloth which you can pick up at most

fabric type shops. So i have this folded five times over

so its five

sheets thick

So put that over the strainer

then im going to poor our mixture

just straight through

and what this is going to do is

collect all the small little bits of

soy beans

So once its all through

and there is still some in the cloth

next we are going to grab the cloth

just seal it up the top

then just force the rest through

just like this

You just want to gently force it through

so you have have is liquid that comes out

So once its strained through

and as you can see theres the leftover

pulp from the soy beans

Now you can put it in the bin or even better in the garden

and it will just breakdown and feed your plants

Next i have a pot on the stove on a medium heat and to that we are going to pour in

our liquid

Now what we are going to do with this is bring it up to a simmer. Now once it starts simmering turn

the temperature down a bit to maintain that simmer

and what thats going to do is cook the soy milk so its fit for consumption.

Now every few minutes your going to get this thin film

forming on top

just like that now its unavoidable and you can't stop it

What you're going to do say every three-four minutes

With a spoon just scoop it up

as best as you can

Its not been twenty minutes so we are going to take it of the heat

With a clean bowl place of a sifter

and we are going to pour our soy milk

straight through. The reason why i have the sifter is to remove any of those

filmy bits left over.

and as you can see i just picked up a couple. So what we are going to do now is let this sit here for about

one hour then its ready to put in to the fridge

Now that is how you make soy milk

now how simple and easy was that to turn this

into this

All these soy beans cost me

$1.60 AUD

This is a 375g packet

and out of that i say i would get about

ten litres of soy milk

and at the shops today it was about $2 for one litre so by making it myself

i got 10 litres for $1.60 AUD

So if you drink soy milk you can see there is no comparison

You are so much better of making it yourself and the other thing is you know exactly what goes in your soy milk

There are no artificial flavours, preservatives or colours or anything

just pure soy milk

Personally i only have it with cereal, but if you want to drink it by its self just add a little sugar.

But now lets see what it tastes like

Now that is really good

that is such a lovely refreshing taste

Its knowing there are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives added to this

its just pure

soy milk, and for a home made soy milk

this taste simply delicious

So from the bottom on my heart

if you do drink soy milk

start making it at home

because i guarantee you're going to love it and you will thank me

now when you do make it, it should last three days in the fridge
