Creamy Homemade Pandan Soy Milk | Dairy-Free & Fragrant | Vegan
History of Soy milk
Soy milk, or soya milk, has a long and rich history originating in China, where it has been a dietary staple for centuries. The earliest evidence of soy milk production dates back to the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220 AD), with a stone slab unearthed in China depicting the process in ancient kitchens . The first written record appears in a Chinese poem titled "Ode to Tofu" from around 1500 AD, though it wasn't until the 18th century that soy milk became a common street beverage, often paired with youtiao (fried dough) for breakfast . Traditional Chinese soy milk was typically unsweetened or salty, and it was initially consumed as a nutritious, affordable drink. The modern soy milk industry began taking shape in the early 20th century, with the first soy dairy founded in France in 1910 by Li Yuying, followed by commercial production in the United States in 1917 . A major breakthrough came in 1966 when Cornell University scientists discovered that the enzyme lipoxygenase was responsible for soy milk's "beany" flavour, leading to heat-treatment processes that created the milder taste preferred in Western markets today .

In contemporary cuisine, soy milk serves remarkably versatile purposes across both sweet and savoury applications. In traditional East Asian cooking, it remains essential for making tofu, yuba (tofu skin), and as a base for Korean kongguksu (cold noodle soup) . Sweetened and flavoured varieties—such as vanilla, chocolate, and even innovative PANDAN-infused versions—have become popular beverages worldwide . Soy milk excels as a dairy substitute in coffee drinks, where it can be frothed for lattes, and in baking for muffins, pancakes, and breads. It is also the foundation for plant-based alternatives like soy yogurt, soy ice cream, and soy-based cheese analogues . Nutritionally, soy milk offers about the same protein content as cow's milk while containing no cholesterol and being naturally lactose-free, making it an excellent choice for those with lactose intolerance or following vegan diets . Many commercial varieties are fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 to match or exceed the nutritional profile of dairy milk

No Thermomix? No Problem! 🥛
Don't worry if you don't have a Thermomix—you can still enjoy creamy homemade Pandan Soy Milk with several other appliances. Here are your best options:
Option 1: Dedicated Soy Milk Maker ⚡These automatic machines do all the work for you—simply add soaked beans and water, select the program, and let it grind, cook, and strain automatically in 20–40 minutes . Popular models like the VEVOR 6-in-1 or Joyoung Q15 are designed specifically for this task and deliver smooth, ready-to-drink milk with minimal effort . Many users love the "set-and-forget" convenience and built-in self-cleaning functions .
Option 2: High-Speed Blender + Stovetop 🔄If you already own a powerful blender, you're halfway there! Simply blend soaked beans with water until smooth, strain through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, then transfer to a pot and simmer for 15–20 minutes . Some blenders like the Bianco di Puro even have a dedicated "Soy Milk" program that handles the blending perfectly—you'll just need to do the cooking separately .
Option 3: Slow Juicer 🍃Here's a game-changer: slow juicers like Hurom can make soy milk without even soaking the beans! Just rinse and juice with water, then optionally simmer for 5 minutes . The cold press technology retains more nutrients and creates incredibly creamy milk with minimal prep time.
Quick Comparison:
Method | Time | Effort | Cleanup |
Thermomix | ~35 min | Medium | One pot |
Soy Milk Maker | 20-40 min | Very low | Minimal |
Blender + Stovetop | 30-50 min | High | Multiple items |
Slow Juicer | 7-18 min | Low | Easy |
