Macrobiotic Soy Milk Tea Jam
- 500 ml Unsweetened Soy Milk
- 100 grams Beet sugar
- 1/2 Vanilla Beans
- 2 tbsp Tea leaf (Earl Gray)
- About the size of the pan, I used Le Creuset cookware.
- A 20 cm round cocotte will be the perfect size for 500 ml soy milk.
- A 20 cm pan will be too small if making the double amount with 1 liter of soy milk.
- 24 cm was the perfect size for 1 liter.
- Portion out the tea into strainers if not already in bags.
- Wet an empty jam jar with water, and heat it up for 1 minute in a 600 W microwave.
- Let the jar dry naturally.
- (This will be the sterilizing.)
- Put all ingredients except the tea leaves in a pan.
- Add the vanilla beans still inside their hull.
- Heat over medium heat.
- Continue mixing to melt the sugar.
- Reduce the fire to a slightly low heat when the mixture comes to a boil.
- Put the tea leaves in the pan, simmer for 5 minutes and then take the tea leaves out.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes and then take the vanilla beans out.
- Continue stirring and simmer for a while.
- Take out the vanilla beans from the hull and put the beans back into the pan.
- Turn up heat to medium and continue stirring with a wooden spatula.
- After 15 to 20 minutes, when the mixture is thick enough that you can see the bottom of the pan for about 1 to 2 seconds after scraping it with the spatula, it's ready.
- If you keep the jam in a sterilized jar, it can be stored for 1 month.
- If you don't add any tea leaves, you'll have a soy milk jam, which is delicious as well.
- Give it a try!
- In that case, take out the hull of vanilla beans 10 minutes after the mixture comes to a boil.
- Of course, the flavor will definitely improve if you put the vanilla beans back into the pan.
