How to Make Corn Soy Milk: A Simple Guide

Corn soy milk is a nutritious and creamy beverage that combines the sweetness of corn with the protein-rich goodness of soybeans. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

1 cup dried soybeans (soaked overnight), 2 fresh corn cobs (kernels removed), 4 cups water, sugar or honey to taste, a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Prepare the Soybeans: Soak dried soybeans in water for at least 8 hours (or overnight) until softened. Drain and rinse.

2. Blend the Ingredients: Combine soaked soybeans, corn kernels, and 4 cups of water in a blender. Blend on high speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth.

3. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer into a pot, pressing to extract all liquid. Discard the pulp.

4. Cook the Soy Milk: Transfer the strained liquid to a pot. Add sugar/honey and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it simmers (do not boil to avoid overflow). Simmer for 5 minutes.

5. Serve: Let it cool slightly, then pour into glasses. Enjoy hot or chilled!

Tips: For extra richness, add a tablespoon of soaked almonds or oats while blending. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This homemade drink is packed with fiber, vitamins, and plant-based protein, making it a perfect healthy start to your day!
