Organic Homemade Soy Milk

Vegans and people who are lactose intolerant appreciate soy milk as a dairy-free substitute in milkshakes, puddings, soups, and creamy sauces. Soy milk contains fiber; it's a good source of protein, low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free. Nowadays, it is very easy to make at home. With 3 cups of soy beans, we can make about 1 gallon of soy milk.

Well you can buy sweetened soya milk in packets, but it's quite easy to make your own if you have yellow soya beans. I've photographed the milk sitting on dried soya beans, but if you can get fresh yellow or even green soya these both work well.

INGREDIENTS:

• 100 gms Soya Beans
• 500 ml Water

PREPARATIONS:

• Rinse the soya beans to clean them. If the beans are dried, soak them overnight to soften them.

• Heat in a pan with soya and the sugar until boiling then simmer for 10 minutes.

Nam Ma-Now (Limeade)

Limeade or “Nam Ma-Now" is a popular drink due to the fact that limes are so readily available. Limeade makes for a fresh twist on lemonade, and is very refreshing. Its light green color also makes it a beautiful drink to serve. For this recipe I used 5 large limes to 7-8 cups water, which makes for quite a flavorful limeade. Feel free to add more water if you find it too strong. ENJOY Ka!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 5 medium to large limes)
• 7-8 cups water
• 1 cup white sugar (or more to taste)
• ice cubes / fresh fruit garnish (Optional)

Preparation:

• Squeeze the limes to make 1 cup lime juice, either by hand (slicing the limes into wedges and squeezing them), or by using a citrus juicer/press.
• Remove any small seeds you find.
• Pour the lime juice into a large jug, and add 7 cups water.
• Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
• Taste-test the lime water, adding more sugar if you prefer it sweeter, or more water if you find the taste too strong or sharp.
• Set jug in the re-frigerator to chill for 2 hours, or until cold.
• Serve as is, or garnished with slices or wedges of lime, plus a few ice cubes if desired. ENJOY KA! ;D

Tips:

For this drink, it’s best to use fresh limes. Bottled lime juice has a different taste, and might also give an aftertaste which you don’t want.
