I’ve never been much of a milk drinker. Having been lactose intolerant all my life I never experienced enjoying a glass of milk. It’s not as though I started out as a milk drinker and had this allergy sneak up on me. Drinking milk has always made me feel ill so I have an instant aversion. As a result I do not require soy (or nut/rice) milk as a beverage alternative. I also don’t cook with milk all that often, so purchased soymilk often expires long before I’ve used half. I’m also unimpressed with the recycleability (or lack thereof) of many soymilk containers. All in all it seems very wasteful to me. Enter Soy Milk Makers.
I didn’t know such a thing as an in-home soymilk maker existed. As I looked into, it became obvious to me that I would not need a specialized piece of equipment for this. I’ve successfully made nut milk at home with my blender and cheese cloth. But the whole process was messy and tedious. And I’d much rather have a machine that would cleanly and effectively do all those things for me.
I’m looking at a $140 investment, give or take. There are cheaper models and probably more expensive ones. I plan on doing a little more research on the matter before committing to buy one. After all, I am broke. Shelling out $140 on any one thing is huge for me. Technically right now I could afford it, if I decided eating wasn’t a priority. So this is more like a notation on a future purchase. So if you wanna help me meet this future goal then consider visiting my shop (link up top) some time in the future when I get some inventory in there. Or not. you know, whatever floats your boat. After all, it’s not for you to pay for all the things I want.
One of the benefits of making your own soy milk is also making your own fresh tofu and knowing exactly what is in it. And that alone is worth the price tag.
