Method

Soy Milk Directions

  1. 1

    Soak Soybeans

    Rinse the soybeans under cold water and soak them in 3 cups of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Blend & Strain

    After soaking, drain and rinse the soybeans. In a blender, combine the soybeans with 4 cups of water and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag into a large bowl to separate the milk from the pulp.

  3. 3

    Sweeten (Optional)

    If desired, add sweetener and vanilla extract to the milk, and blend for a few seconds to incorporate.

  4. 4

    Store

    Transfer the soy milk to a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate. Shake well before using.

    Soak Almonds

    Rinse the raw almonds under cold water and soak them in water for at least 12 hours or overnight.

  2. 6

    Blend & Strain

    After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds. In a blender, combine the almonds with 4 cups of fresh water and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag into a large bowl to separate the milk from the pulp.

  3. 7

    Sweeten (Optional)

    If desired, add sweetener and a pinch of salt to the milk, and blend for a few seconds to incorporate.

  4. 8

    Store

    Transfer the almond milk to a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate. Shake well before using.
