This time
round, I used organic soya bean as I was told that soya bean is the most GMO (genetically
modified organism) grains. Sounds pretty scary isn't it?
When my
kids were young, I was very tempted to start them on organic produce but I was
warned that this might also reduce their tolerance level to normal food. As
the sayings goes “垃圾吃，垃圾大 (in hokkien)”,
sometime holds some truth to it. As I grew up in an extremely clean environment,
I was so prone to illness and diarrhea whereas my hubby grew up in a kampong
and he is so strong and can take any food without issues.
I was
relatively surprised that organic produce in the States has nearly the same pricing as
non organic. Strange isn't it? I believe that explains why organic food is a
way more successful over there than here.
Enough of
my thoughts, let's have a glass of wholesome goodness. I am very sure my
little girl will be delighted to see this as she totally loves soya milk (豆奶).
Sugar to taste
Method:
Soak soy beans overnight. Discard soaking water.
Put all the beans into a blender with 1000ml water. Blend until very fine, for about 2 minutes. (I divide this into two because my blender couldn't take it all)
Pour blended beans into a muslin bag and using your hand to press to extract milk.
Repeat blending process with another 1000ml water, and extract milk.
*** You can Choose to combine 1st and 2nd extract together. I find that using just the second extract, the soy taste is not strong. Thus for further, I will just both the 1st and 2nd extract.
Put extracted milk into a pot/saucepan and put in a pandan leaf(stripped and tied into a knot).
On medium heat, bring it to a boil.
Be very careful and watch the pot carefully. The milk overflows easily when it’s boiling.
Season with sugar.
