Peruvian soy milk

Thanks to Lucha, our lovely housekeeper. Hopefully this will keep me drinking more drinks at home and less from street vendors (see, Dami, I'm trying), and hopefully I'll get sick less often.

:)

Makes: about 2 L.

Take about a cup of dried soybeans (you can buy in bulk).
Soak overnight with plenty of water (2-3 times volume of soybeans).
In the morning, rinse out soybeans.
Put in blender, picking out any stones or skins.
Add a little water and blend
Put in a big pot with about 2-3 liters water.
Boil for at least 30 min, adding a bit of cinnamon stick and a few cloves..
Strain and drink (recommend adding a little brown sugar).
Swoon.

Keeps for a couple of days in the fridge, just microwave when you want to reheat.

Apparently, you can use the residual soy bits to make soy meat-subsitute type products which Lucha's sister seems to know how to do. Can't help you there . . .
