Soak 1 cup of combined dry soybeans and mung beans (e.g., a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio) in water for 6-8 hours. Drain and blend with 4-5 cups of water until smooth. Strain the mixture using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Boil the strained liquid for 20 minutes, stirring frequently, then sweeten to taste.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Soak the Beans: Combine 1 cup of dry soybeans and mung beans. The ratio can be adjusted based on preference—a 2:1 or 1:3 mix works well, though a 1:1 blend offers a balanced flavor. Soak in cold water for 6 to 8 hours (or overnight) until the beans plump up.
- Blend: Rinse the soaked beans and place them in a high-speed blender. Add 4 to 5 cups of fresh, filtered water. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is thick, creamy, and completely pulverized.
- Strain the Pulp: Place a nut milk bag, fine-mesh strainer, or several layers of cheesecloth over a large pot. Pour the blended mixture into the bag/cloth and squeeze firmly to extract as much liquid as possible. You are left with raw bean milk.
- Boil and Simmer: Place the extracted milk on the stove over medium-high heat. Raw soy and mung beans contain compounds that can cause stomach upset, so the milk must be boiled. Bring the milk to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom.
- Sweeten and Serve: Turn off the heat. Stir in a sweetener of your choice (such as sugar, rock sugar, honey, or maple syrup) to taste. Add pandan leaves during the boiling process for a fragrant aroma. Serve hot or allow it to cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Using an Automatic Soy Milk Maker
If you own an automatic soy milk maker, the process is heavily streamlined. Simply soak the mung beans and soybeans for 1-2 hours, add them to the machine’s pitcher, fill with water to the indicated line, and press the “Soy Milk” or “Bean Milk” setting. The machine will automatically grind, cook, and blend the mixture into ready-to-drink milk in about 20 to 30 minutes.
