There is a trick to reducing the beany taste. You blanch the soaked soybeans twice with a little baking soda. Take a look at the Ellen's Kitchen website.

She says blanching kills the enzyme that normally produces the beany taste after the beans are ground.

Well, that is something that raw beans will end up having. The trick is that when they sit in the water for too long, they start develop the "beany" smell. Wash them super well and scrub hard after soaking and grind in new fresh cold water.
Otherwise, try Mahanandi recipe (in the post above). She boils the beans first (in fresh water) and then grinds them,... This could prevent soy beans to develop the "beany" smell.

Hi, you are a life saver! Thks for posting this, I have made the milk, stored the okara and yuba.(came here for a recipe hunt on Okara). My 3 year old is allergic to milk n all its products hence have to give her those tetra packed soya milk. One query is how can I take off the raw-flavour from home made soya which is not there in store-bought ones!I tried adding vanilla to a small part and also cocoa powder, but doesnt seem to help...I would truly like to make this at home and let my kid have that. Could you possibly help resolve? Thanks in advance!!
