Heating and boiling: The ground soybean paste is mixed with water and heated to a specific temperature. This helps eliminate any undesirable flavors and odors and ensures the soy milk is safe for consumption.

[@thedebatehitman]

I just made my first batch of soy milk this evening. It’s tasty, but it’s not quite as good as the stuff that I usually buy from the store. I’m here to what the companies add to make the store-bought stuff so good, but my recipe appears to have the same ingredients. So now I just need to figure out the correct proportions and procedure.

[@liltimmy2591]

The Debate Hitman probably presartives maybe. Maybe they add a sweetner to it or soemthing lol. Just keep experimenting

[@Pol-kw5gq]

Good luck!

[@elethomh5927]

If it has that soy odor, it's possibly because you soaked the soy in non-hot water before grinding. Cold and warm water allows the enzymes in the soy to work and degrade the fats, so in this factory they only expose the soy to boiling hot water to instantly kill the enzymes. If your grinding appliance is unable to handle hard dry soy, blanching should also work to soften the beans while killing the enzymes. Just make sure to put the beans in after the water got hot.

Refined sugar is not per se unhealthy and, most importantly, not unhealthier than other sugars. The sugar improves taste, color and maybe also texture.

[@allen7585]

Try to get no sugar soy milk if you want real health benefits. It’s hard to take at first but you acquire a taste for it. Look in Asian grocery stores - I prefer Asian brand soy milk. It’s definitely a different taste. I feel like soy milk in America and Canada is catered to North American tastes (sugar, vanilla, etc) to give it that creamy/dairy tastes. real soy milk by itself is almost watery. Like I said, it’s rough at first but now that’s what I prefer.

[@Iliashun]

I usually buy the unsweetened version cuz it has more protein in it

[@stick6969]

if i gotta get a milk alternative that's watery im going almond milk

I know that the micro organizims get killed off by the heat but, doesn't that also kill off the nutrients as well? 😐 By the way I subscribed and liked this video.

[@maggieshakalaka]

You can't "kill" nutrients, they're not alive. Nutrients is a very wide term, some are not at all heat sensitive others are so very much. The heating method in the video uses steam and small volumes of product which means that they are heated to high temperatures for a very short time and cooled instantly after. This method is very gentle to nutrients and while a certain percentage of the heat sensitive ones will be destroyed, the product will still be nutritious.

[@liltimmy2591]

Oml. Do you cook your food before you eat it? It's the same difference. No it doesn't kill the nutrients

[@Uneke]

Yes, some organic materials will be degraded by this method… losing nutrition is not what needs your attention because of this method of sterilizing… it’s the creation of unhealthy material. Trans fats are created by this method of killing off microorganisms…

WHY is he wearing a hairnet AND a beard net?!?! He has no beard and next to no hair.

Do women have to wear them too??????? seriously, i've seen grannies with some formidable fuzz stretching out from their weathered chops as well younger ladies with the unmentionable upper lip fluff they not got round to waxing. Do they get little mustache ones? what about the evils of eyebrows?! the over arching pathways of brow bristles and of course the ever lurking lashes?! I demand a dailey ful body shave and swarfiga scrub or at very least, full sealed goggles over a shrink wrapped and bleached employee that has to bite down on an air pipe that filters out the exerted carbon.
