Homemade Authentic Soy Milk (Easy & Healthy)

Today we are making the classic authentic Taiwanese Soy Milk – plus an extra creamy Black Sesame flavor – right in your own kitchen! This is not your ordinary store-bought soy milk that you find in a paper box filled with unknown ingredients. This recipe makes TRADITIONAL Soy Milk so rich, silky, and creamy that I make 3 times a week myself. I don’t think I will never go back to store-bought soy milk!

Day 2 of 5 Days of Breakfast – Soy Milk

Welcome to Day 2 of cooking my favorite Breakfast Dishes for 5 Days! CREAMY, RICH, SILKY AND HEALTHY Homemade Soy Milk is the go-to breakfast that I have at least 3 times a week. This recipe makes around 10 cups of Homemade soy milk, and the best part is, there are no preservatives or chemicals added to it, only two ingredients – water & soybeans! Depending on the day, I will also add sugar, and black sesame, or even matcha flavors!

What To Eat With Your Fresh Soy Milk

Soy milk is a healthy drink that Taiwanese people have often, particularly for breakfast. It’s high protein, low fat, and completely lactose-free. When we were in Tainan, fresh soy milk was an absolutely must have every morning. We would enjoy our soy milk with all sorts of Taiwanese breakfast favorites like Taiwanese Egg Pancakes and Green Onion Pancakes. I also love to serve my Homemade Soy Milk by dipping crispy Chinese doughnut into it. If you had never give this combination a try before, I would highly recommend it!

Homemade Soy Milk Ingredients

Depending on how rich you want it, you can add more water when blending to adjust the consistency. My go-to ratio is always 1:1 for my extra rich and creamy soy milk. I strain mine in a fine mesh strainer, but you can also use a nut milk bag if you like it extra silky!

• 500 g of Soy Beans 
• 8 Cups of Water
• Sugar (Optional)
• Black Sesame Powder (Optional)

Step By Step Guide on Homemade Soy Milk

1. Soak 500g of soybeans in water overnight 
2. Drain the soybeans and add them to a pot. Pour in 8 cups of water and turn the heat to medium and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until soybeans are soft
3. Let the soybeans cool down and pack them into individual zip lock bags based on your portion size
4. 1 cup of soybean to 1 cup of water makes creamy soy milk. Blend it in a blender till smooth, and add 1 tbsp of sugar if you like it sweet! 
5. Strain it with a mesh strainer or nut milk bag, and enjoy!
6. Creamy Black Sesame Soy Milk: add 1 tbsp of black sesame powder and blend till smooth. 

Storing Your Soy Milk In The Freezer

I always make my Homemade Soy Milk on Sunday. That way, I have fresh soy milk for the rest of the week. Rather than blending it all up at first, I will pack cooked soybeans into individual zip lock bags and store half in the fridge and half in the freezer. When I am ready to drink, I will then blend it in the morning with hot water, so I have extra fresh creamy soy milk for the rest of the week.

If you decide to pre-blend it, I would recommend running it through a nut milk bag instead, and it can last in the fridge for up to 3 days!
