Soy Bean drink


I used to buy soy bean drink from supermarket or flee market during weekend. However, I hardly find a nice freshly made soybean drink. Sometimes, it tastes like burnt or too creamy.

When my Mum-In Law came to visit, she made her own soy bean drink. Very nice. The taste was just right. We kept enjoying the drink and never paid attention on how she made it. When she went home, she had left half pack of soy beans in our cupboard and none of us know how to use it.

So, one night, I called her and asked for the steps of making it. It was not that difficult as I thought. Firstly the soy beans need to be washed and soaked overnigth. Then on the next morning I blended them and squeezed blended soy beans by using the cloth bag. I kept repeating the process until all beans are used up. Then, I boiled the soy milk under low heat and stirred it occasionally to ensure the milk did not burnt. Pandan leave was also added into the boiling soy milk to make the taste and smell nicer. Finally, I added sugar to taste. And "Da...da" here was my very first time made soy bean drink. I could say that it was a quite sucessful one.

I enjoy soy bean drink with weetbix or cereal for breakfast. My hubby loves soy bean with crushing ice. My baby Michelle seems not very interested in my freshly made soy bean drink yet. Hopefully, she will like her mama soy bean drink when she is older.
