These days though, with the drastic price increase in soy milk and the news that some of the “organic” soy milk is not actually made from all-organic soybeans, I’ve starting making batches at home. Besides being easy, you can also control the texture and sweetness of the milk you are making at home.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Soaking beans: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours, 40 minutes
Ingredients:

- Strain milk and pulp through a sieve lined with a cheesecloth a few times, pressing beans to remove milk.*
