Homemade Soy Milk



There is always a debate going on in our minds that which kind of milk is best for the human body because since childhood we have been listening from our parents or grandparents that milk is very much necessary to consume at least twice a day.  A number of times its benefits has been told to us when we avoid drinking milk.
 No doubt dairy milk has proteins and calcium but it contains high saturated fats that don’t suit in our present lifestyle. It leads to several heart problems, skin problems etc.

People who are lactose intolerant can't consume dairy products.
Solution to this is simple; just substitute the dairy milk with plant-based milk such as soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk etc.
Some of the benefits of consuming Soy Milk are:
1.       Good source of plant-based protein
2.       Less saturated fat than dairy milk
3.       It is cholesterol free.
4.       It contains no lactose.
Dr. Jewel Gamadia (acupuncturist) advises avoiding milk as it is the big culprit that causes acne.
Now I am sharing how to make Soy milk at home.

Remember: People who are allergic to soy products shall not try and can go for other plant-based milk like almond milk, coconut milk etc.

What all you need?
Soy Beans                            1 Cup
Water: For blending:           4.5 Cups
 Muslin cloth or Nut Bag milk


Process:
1.       Soak soybeans in water overnight.
2.       Strain water and rinse the soybeans.
3.       Remove the skin of beans as best as you can.
4.       Put soybeans and water in a blender and blend until smooth.
5.       Strain the mixture using the muslin cloth or nut bag milk.
6.       Boil the strained milk in a pan (heavy bottom).
7.       Keep stirring at the simmer for next 15 minutes as to get rid of the bitterness and plant taste.
8.       Cool it and store in a refrigerator.
9.       It can be consumed within 3 days.
