Soy Milk

This homemade soy milk is a tasty dairy alternative, and can be used on cereal or in baking recipes.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (100 g) dried soy beans
• 1 date, pitted
• 2 cups (480 ml) water

Directions

1. Clean dried soy beans and soak in water for 4 to 8 hours. Steam for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain soy beans and let cool. Measure 3/4 cups (130 g) cooked beans.
2. Place cooked beans, dates, and water into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the blade base.
3. Run the Non-Dairy Milk Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 35-45 seconds. Seal 20 ounce container with the lid and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

To obtain commercial-style soy milk, strain the milk through a filtration bag or pass through a fine mesh sieve. For a refreshing flavor, add 1-inch (2.5 cm) cube of fresh ginger root before blending.
