     @sundogplanets soak soy beans overnight. Drain next day. Add fresh water to it (1:8 soy beans to water). Blend. Bring the mixture to a boil on a stove top, reduce heat to simmer for around 45 min, covered. After that, drain with cheesecloth or something fine.

     During the simmering process I like to add some pandan leaves (I can get them frozen) or other aromatics. (Good vanilla?) I also add brown sugar at that point. Or after

     @skinnylatte If it's easy to share, I'd love to know your basic method for soy milk! I've tried making it several times in several different ways with mostly not very good results...

     @sundogplanets after you get the hang of it, try a combo of half black soy beans, half regular soy beans. Love that so much. Or add black sesame to it.

     @skinnylatte I'm writing this down in my recipe book right now to try next time I don't have goat milk! (which is coming up soon) Thank you.

     I think most of the times I've made it I blended after cooking, I bet that order is important...

     It was all delicious. Unfortunately I will never use a mandolin again as I can’t seem to use them safely. Ouch.

     I’m so much faster and safe with a large cleaver (check out Chinese cleaver knife work on YouTube for very fine slicing. It changed things for me when I started trying to do that)

     @sundogplanets my wife gave me a nut milk maker thingie. It works well for soy beans too. Then we pour it into a Greek yogurt strainer. Still refining this technique but comes very close and also I’m much more likely to do this any time than the whole thing from scratch

     @skinnylatte Years ago, when we were visiting Taipei, my partner really wanted to try black sesame soy milk, and watched a bunch of youtube videos to try to get the pronunciation right. But he made an old lady at a restaurant blush with whatever he actually said, and we never got to try it!

     Someday, I'll definitely have to see if I can make some approximation myself, thanks for the suggestion.

     @onekind what a typo from me. Mandolin (the instrument) too!

     @skinnylatte mandolines are treacherous!
