Fresh homemade soy milk is a creamy, plant-based breakfast drink packed with vegetarian protein. A healthy, clean eats family staple for every morning.
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly, then soak them in plenty of water overnight (8–12 hours) to fully hydrate.
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.
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.
Add the remaining 1 cup water, the maple syrup, and salt to the strained soy milk. Stir well.
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.
