Homemade Soy Milk

by - January 09, 2019

I have been making my own soy milk occasionally since I got a Vitamix Blender a few years ago.  I didn’t share as I didn’t strain the milk.  I thought it is a waste just drink the milk and discard the paste but my hubby didn’t like to drink it unstrained.  So lately, I have been straining the soy milk so my hubby will drink it too. I must admit it is a lot nicer after straining!


Homemade Soy Milk


200g soybeans
1500ml water (for blending)
Gula melaka (palm sugar) to taste, chopped (optional)
4 pandan leaves, tied into a knot

Muslin bag
Powerful blender (I used Vitamix Blender)

  1. Wash and soak soybeans with enough water in a big bowl overnight.
  2. Rinse and drain the soybeans.
  3. Remove the skin as much as you can.
  4. Add half of the soybean and water in the blender container.  Blend for 2 mins.  Continue with the remaining of soybeans.
  5. Strain the mixture in a muslin bag and squeeze out the milk.
  6. Heat the soy milk in a big pot together with palm sugar and pandan leave over low medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes.  Please stir frequently to prevent the bottom from burning.
  7. You may serve hot immediately or transfer to a jar after cooling.
  8. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
