Soy Milk isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so to speak, but I’ve been having it in my tea and coffee for over 20 years now.
\nThe Spring of 1994 was a very bad year for hay fever and I suffered badly. My hay fever didn’t dissipate once Summer came. It went through to Autumn and Winter. After trying a few doctors who wanted to prescribe cortisone, I finally visited a Naturopath.<\/p>\n

Back then (sounds like forever ago!), Naturopaths weren’t considered to be health professionals by the government so there was no health rebates available.
\nJanelle immediately revised my diet and I was basically on a detox for 6 months. No dairy, no wheat, no yeast, no sugar, no alcohol. It was incredibly hard as there just wasn’t the foods or ingredients readily available, especially where I lived. I lost about 5 kilos and I wasn’t particularly big anyway.
\nBut, my hay fever went away! I haven’t suffered from hay fever in all that time. Maybe the occasional sniffle, but nothing to worry about….except for this year, but that’s another blog post.<\/p>\n

Since that time, I reintroduced all those items back into my diet but have found I’m not particularly fond of dairy anymore. I just can’t stomach cow’s milk in my tea and coffee and rarely eat cream. I like a little cheese and eat a lot of yoghurt, though!<\/p>\n

Over the years I’ve been buying soy milk in the UHT cartons. There’s only a couple of brands that I like and one of those is Vitasoy Vitacafe. I don’t know how many of these little containers I’ve left at various places in all that time. I’d take one with me wherever I went so I could enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.<\/p>\n

I have given some thought into making soy milk, but all the recipes I found were labour intensive and made litres of it at a time. However, recently I discovered that I could have been making it in my Thermomix all this time! I discovered that I have the book with recipe in it after browsing a Facebook page that I enjoy, Thermobexta.<\/p>\n

The recipe comes from the Thermomix book, A Taste of Asia. I’ve changed it a little, so I believe I can post the recipe here. It’s absolutely delicious. I also use it in my smoothies.<\/p>\n

\nThe okara that’s left over can be used in vegie Burgers, meat loaf, sausage rolls etc.<\/p>\n

Soy Milk<\/b><\/p>\n

100g organic Soy Beans, soaked overnight in filtered water with either lemon juice or whey added
\n400g boiling filtered water<\/p>\n

Add drained beans and water to TM bowl and blend on speed 8 for 1 minute.<\/p>\n

600g water
\n2 tsp vanilla extract
\n1 Tbsp maple syrup (or 1 Medjool date, de-seeded)
\npinch salt<\/p>\n

Scrape down and add remaining ingredients and cook for 10 minutes on 90, speed 2-3. Skim foam from the top.
\nCook a further 2 minutes on 100, speed 2. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t boil over.
\nCool to about 60.
\nStrain through muslin or a nut bag into a glass bottle. Refrigerate.<\/p>\n

Keeps for about 4 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
