Dissolve 1 teaspoon nigari in a cup of warm water

Slowly pour in 3/4 cup of nigari water, stirring gently

Ok... This sounds easier than my other recipe. How do you make your soy milk?

annalou 2 years, 3 months ago said:
With a soy milk maker - soak the beans overnight and process in the machine with water and a touch of salt

Yeah i am intresting to learn how you make homemade soy milk?

Saved: I bought the nigari where I bought my soy milk maker - Soya Power, online, out of Tennessee.

Soframiz: I made the soymilk by soaking dried soy beans over night in water, draining then using my soy milk maker. I just put the beans, water and salt in the maker, and in 20 minutes I have fresh soy milk.
