Soy milk and recycling okara



Before I have known the gran mystery of soy milk production, I was always wondering how can be possible that it tastes more or less  like a cow milk. I thought that the recipe should be very complicated and we need days or even weeks to produce the final white liquid. 
Actually, I felt a little bit disappointed when it turned out that it's really not a big deal!

Although it has a slightly bitter taste, the homemade soy milk has one big advantage over the store-bought one from -  the price. In Poland 1 litre of soy milk Alpro (my favorite one) costs nearly 2 euros, meanwhile 1litre of homemade milk is around 50 cents or even less. So no one can tell me that being vegan is expensive because it isn't. The only thing it requires from us is to be a little creative and enthusiastic about DIY ethic. And it's not true that we have to spend hours in the kitchen, to prepare soy milk we need only 30 minutes. So let's start!
