Gather @soybean{150%g}.

Cover the soybeans generously with @water{1.5%l} and soak overnight, until they split cleanly in half when pressed. ~{8%hours}

Drain, rinse, and blend the beans with 1.5 litres of fresh water on high until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. ~{2%minutes}

Strain through a fine sieve or nut-milk bag into a large pot, squeezing to extract every drop.

Bring the milk to a boil, watching closely, then keep it at a lively simmer for 10 minutes, skimming any foam. ~{10%minutes}

Sweeten with @sugar{3%tbsp} and serve steaming in bowls or glasses — with fried dough sticks for dunking if you can get them.
