Hot Soy Milk

Soy milk (also called soya milk or soybean milk) and sometimes referred to as soy drink/beverage is a beverage made from soy beans


Ingredients:

1. 1/2 L unflavored Soy milk (thicker is better)


2. 1/2 tsp ground Ginger


3. 1/2 tsp ground Cloves


4. 1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon


5. 1/2 tsp ground Allspice


6. 1 tsp Sugar

Mixing instructions:

• In a large cooking pot (at least twice the size needed to contain your soy milk), mix everything together and heat on high while stirring constantly.


• Bring to a boil (remember to stir constantly!), and the concoction will froth up.


• Remove from heat, let the froth subside, and repeat this cycle three more times. This is why your pot has to be bigger: the frothing would cause a major spill if you used a smaller pot.


• Serve and drink while hot.


• You can also adjust sweetness in your cup. Some people may want to strain this, as the ground spices sometimes have some coarse particles.

This is a very nice hot drink, with a definite indian-food flavour, spicy-sweet and rich. The original recipe using milk also called for a tablespoon of butter for each serving (yuk!), and that was intended to make the drink rich-tasting. The thicker soy milk already has that thick rich texture, and is much lower in fat content.

Soy milk:

Soy milk is made by soaking soybeans, grinding them with water. The fluid which results after straining is called soy milk. You can make soy milk at home with basic kitchen tools or with a soy milk machine. Soy milk is most commonly found in aseptic cartons. Most of the soy milk available in the market is flavoured and fortified with extra calcium or vitamins. The most popular flavours are vanilla and chocolate.
