• 12 cups boiling water, divided 1st to 4 cups,then 1 cup,then 7cups
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup sugar, or maple syrup or vanilla (optional)
• cheesecloth, muslin cloth or cloth used for straining out liquids

1. Drop soaked soybeans in continuous 4 cups boiling water with baking soda. Blanch for 5 mins and rinse.
2. . After rinsing, add a cup of hot water and process the beans in a food processor or blender. Careful, it's hot so be sure to cover it well.
3. Next, boil the remaining 7 cups of water and put in the processed beans and sugar/maple syrup/vanilla for 20 mins stirring occasionally and removing the thin film formed on top.
4. Strain the bean particles using a cheesecloth. The soy milk would be hot so this serves as a warning. Either use silicon gloves, or press the spatula against the cheesecloth to strain out the liquid.
