How to Make Red Bean Soy Milk: A Complete Guide

Red bean soy milk is a nutritious and delicious beverage loved for its creamy texture and earthy sweetness. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 1 cup soaked red beans, 2 cups soybeans (soaked overnight), 4 cups water, sugar or honey to taste.

Steps:

1. Soak: Rinse red beans and soybeans separately, then soak in water for at least 8 hours (or overnight) until soft.

2. Blend: Drain the soaked beans. Add red beans, soybeans, and 4 cups water to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth.

3. Cook: Pour the mixture into a pot, heat over medium heat, and stir constantly to prevent sticking. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the raw bean smell disappears.

4. Sweeten: Remove from heat, add sugar or honey to taste, and stir until dissolved. For extra richness, a pinch of salt can be added.

5. Strain (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine sieve.

Serving Tips: Enjoy hot for warmth or chilled as a refreshing drink. Pair with pastries for a delightful breakfast or snack.
