I’ve found so many variations e.g.
soak for 6 hours (minimize fermentation), soak for 3 days (to maximize available nutrients and purge phytic acid);
scrub to remove skins, or don’t;
change water…or don’t;
blend, boil, strain;
blend, strain, boil;
boil, blend, no straining;
Boil no more than 15 minutes or it will taste like miso paste Vs 20 minutes…Vs longer because beans take a long time to cook
extra condiments or thickeners Vs just sugar.
Sooo…has anyone tried a few of these to tell me which differences to expect?
I was leaning towards soak 24h, scrub skins, boil 15m, blend (my blender is not that strong, so that’s why I’m boiling first, add sugar (no straining).
Is there a configuration that is less bitter or closer to nut milk? I’m trying to understand why I am doing things, so that I can control it, otherwise I’m just following random recipes and tweaking with no idea what’s happening :P
