What Does Soy Milk Taste Like?

So, does soy milk taste good? Does soy milk taste like milk”? 

Some soy milk devotees claim that the milk’s flavor and nutty consistency are similar to almond milk, but it is less crunchy.

In comparison to the flavored versions, plain soy milk is obvious in the plain kind with no sugar added. The drink has a beany flavor, but commercial varieties lose that flavor after pasteurization.

The use of chemical preservatives and sweets masks the soya flavor even more. If you drink this milk straight and unsweetened, it has a sour taste to it. Scented varieties, on the other hand, soften the tartness.

How To Make Soy Milk?

Before we move to learn how to make milk taste good, you may be eager to find out the homemade soy milk recipe!

Preparation

To create the best tasting soy milk, you’ll need to prepare some basic ingredients and several kitchen utensils. Let’s take a look!

Ingredients

• 160 g of dried soybeans 
• 500 ml of cold water
• 4 tbsp agave nectar
• One bean of vanilla

Tools

• Cheesecloth
• Sieve
• Large measuring cup
• Blender

The Making Process

Step 1: Put your soya in a large mixing bowl, fill with water, and soak overnight (at 12 hours ). As they will absorb a lot of water while soaking, be sure you cover them with plenty of water.

Step 2: Drain and rinse the beans the next day. Mix 2 cups of soaked beans with 4 cups of purified water in batches in your blender. Filter the milk through a non-dairy milk bag, ringing out the excess milk until only the soybean puree remains. Remove the soybean shell and continue the process until you have approximately 8 cups of filtered milk in your skillet.

Step 3: Heat the soy milk to a boil in a pan, stirring frequently and gently. When it turns warm, it will froth and expand, so be careful not to let it overflow! Turn down the heat to moderate and simmer the milk for 15-20 minutes once it has reached a boil.

Step 4: Any dense foam that forms during the cooking process should be discarded.

Step 5: Leave the milk to reach room temperature after 20 minutes, scraping off the crust that forms on the surface.

Step 6: To produce sweetened vanilla soy milk, return the milk to the rinsed mixer (in batches if needed) and add a vanilla bean to taste.

Step 7: Refrigerate the chilled soy milk in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Step 5: Heat up the milk while allowing as little air as possible to pass through. A bubbled texture is created by using too much air, and this will destroy your foam.

Step 6: Overheating might cause your milk to separate as it hits your espresso shot.

Step 7: To lessen the possibilities of your coffee separating and pouring slowly.
