Soy Milk (豆浆)

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 1/2 cup Soy Bean
• 1200 ml Water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt

Tools:

• Nutmeg bag or cheese cloth - to filter blended soy bean
• Strainer 
• Tall pot - for boiling soy milk

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, add about 5 cup of water and soak soy bean overnight.  The water should be about 2-3  inch above soy bean. 
2.  Optional: About a couple of hours later, remove the skin from soy bean if desired.
3. Wash soaked soy bean thoroughly and discard the water.  After soaking, 1/2 cup of soy bean yield about 1 1/2 cup of soaked soy bean. Transfer them into the blender.  Add 1200 ml water.  Liquefy it. 
4. Put the strainer on top of the tall boiling pot.
5. Transfer the half of blended soy bean into the nutmeg bag or cheese cloth.  Squeeze the bag to flow soy milk into the boiling pot through strainer.  Repeat this for the remaining half of the blended soy bean.


Putting Everything Together:
1.  In a wok on medium high heat, boil the soy milk. 
2.  Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
3. After 3-5 minutes, reduce the heat to simmer.  Keep an eye to the pot during the boiling process to make sure the soy milk does not overflow the pot.  This is very important since the soy milk is very hard to clean on the stove top.
4. After 15 minutes, the soy milk is ready.  Turn the heat off, transfer it to a bowl or a cup and enjoy!
