Arahan
- 1
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under running water. Soak them in a bowl with 2 cups of water for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften.
5 minutes
Longer soaking results in creamier milk and easier blending.

Drain the soaked soybeans and remove any loose skins for a smoother texture. Combine soybeans with 2 cups of fresh water in a blender.
3 minutes
Peeling the soybeans reduces the 'beany' taste.
- 3
Blend the soybeans until completely smooth. Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth or fine sieve into a pot, extracting as much liquid as possible.
5 minutes
Twist and squeeze the cloth well to maximize yield.

Add the pandan leaf, remaining 1 cup of water, and salt to the pot. Bring the soya milk to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking.
