Love a cup of hot freshly homemade soy bean milk at the comfort of your home. When homemade, means we can choose to use organic soy beans, control your own sweetness and most important you are aware that it hygiennically prepared.
Ginger is added in to remove the raw beans taste and at the same time giving a slight gingery taste.
It nourishes weak body constitution, moisten dryness and delays aging. Soybean milk is the best drink for women. Drinking soy bean milk everyday helps regulate estrogen and progesterone level, and menstrual cycle too.

Fine residue after filtering process. This step is important for a residue free soy bean milk. Otherwise this residue will settle at the base of the pot of your soy bean milk and will easily burnt while cooking/boiling. Hence the smell of burnt soy bean milk.
7. Add balance 1750ml water into the soy milk mixture. Add in sliced ginger and pandan leaves.
