Rinse and drain the soybeans, pick out the bad ones and then soak it in cold water for 8 - 16 hours. Make sure the water level is at least 2"(5cm) above the soybeans.

Drain the soaked soybeans and blend it with 6 cups of water in a blender over medium to medium high speed for 1-2 minutes. I use the 4-5 speed setting with my Vitamix.
In a 5-6 qt pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil before pouring the soy milk mixture into the pot. Use 1 cup of water to rinse the blender and pour it into the pot.
Bring the soy milk to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for another 15 minutes. Stir occasionally and skim off foam from the top.
Let the soy milk cool down a little before pouring soy milk into a mixing bowl through a nut milk bag.
Once it's cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much of the soy milk in the nut milk bag as you can. Optionally sweeten with sugar.
Store the soy milk in the fridge for 3-4 days.
