There is no such thing as soy milk. I have never seen a soy titty.

it's soy juice.

We have one. It's a pain in the ass to clean, which is probably why we don't use it anymore. Also, the soy "juice" (?) it makes taste nothing like the stuff you get in the supermarket. It's just a completely different taste. Homemade soy with some sugar or honey is pretty delicious though, IMO.

Right, and there's no such thing as coconut milk or rice milk, right?

nope. it's coconut juice and rice juice.

there is no coconut titty or rice titty.

Milk is a liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals.

i could bottle guyver juice and call it "Guyver milk" .. does that make it milk?

Yeah it tastes like the ones you get at the gourmet asian breakfast restaurants. :awe:
The ones at the store are diluted.

I was thinking the opposite - that Silk soy milk stuff, while delicious, is thick as hell and tastes really artificial. The stuff we make is lighter in flavor and texture, much more like the consistency of water than of half-sludge.

It's been a while since I've had soy milk from a store place, though... or heck, even since we last made soy milk. I'm basing this off my memories.

Anyone own one or use one?

yes?

basically, you soak the soy beans until they 'fatten' and before they turn into bean sprouts (which can be delicious like the normal mung bean sprouts).

then you put it into the machine which grinds them up while mixing with water and spits out the soy-milk while leaving the pulp (can also be used for cooking) inside.

you can not drink raw soy-milk or hilarity (diarrhea) ensues. cook on stove and then add real sugar to taste. (warm soy-milk is good with chinese baked sesame pastry)

the amount of water and cooking time can make or break the deliciousness of soy milk. i like this more than 'silk', because silk tastes like they're trying to make it too close to 'milk', probably with other additives too.

---

poor man's soy-milk machine is just a regular blender, with a cotton cloth used to separate pulp from the mixture.

to make tofu, you can add plaster of paris as a stabilizer into soy-milk. this is how it is commonly done. but i do not recommend this, since it is easier and cheaper to buy tofu from a korean store.
