Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly, then soak them in plenty of water overnight (8–12 hours) to fully hydrate.

  2. 2

    Drain and rinse the soaked soybeans. Add them to a blender with 4 cups of fresh water, then blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Set a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer over a large pot. Pour the blended mixture through, squeezing or pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining 1 cup water, the maple syrup, and salt to the strained soy milk. Stir well.

  5. 5

    Bring the pot to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Stir frequently to prevent scorching, and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Skim any foam, then cool slightly before serving.
