Soy Bean Milk

This is momentous enough that it warrants a mini-blog.

Today, I made my very first batch of soy bean milk. Ever. In my life! It was an amazing experience! I needed a strainer, but not having one (or cheese cloth, whatever that is), I was forced to be resourceful. Felt like MacGyver!

So I got a face towel and used that as my sieve. It was a messy ordeal - all that blended soy beans. Then, had to heat up the milk. And there was a strong smell. I remembered reading somewhere that if you throw in some orange peel it takes away the smell. So I had a clementine. And threw in the peel. And it worked!

Anyway. Tomorrow I'll drink my first cup. Oh yeah, I also used maple syrup! haha. Because it said I needed palm sugar. And I don't know what that is. And no one here knows what it is. So I'm assuming you can't get it here. So... maple syrup! haha. But it tastes so good.

Anyway. Not very milestone-ish? It is! My mom would be proud.
