Tis the first hour of #ElectionDay 
on the West Coast (12:45 am) and mom decided to make a huge batch of soy milk 豆浆 from scratch. None of that watery stuff from the store.
Seeing mom stir the pot is soothing & very witchy! Cast that spell 妈妈!

Another soothing view of a pot of blended soy beans & water on the stove. Mom says you gotta stir constantly, if it boils over, you’re screwed.

Did I mention another family member is baking chocolate chip cookies? It is 1:30 am and I just stuffed my mouth with 2 of them.
The entire home is steamy & buttery right now
Fortifying myself for what’s to come

The slowly cooked soy milk looks very rich now.
Beforehand mom soaked the soy beans in water overnight and blended them with some water before pouring it in the big ass pot

But wait, it’s not over! After being cooked and stirred constantly the soy milk is now ladled into another pot with cloth to strain any particles. Anyone tired yet?
Let’s face it: the old & slow ways are the best ways! And respect yo elders

Last steps: squeezed the remaining milk from the cloth which is sitting over a fine mesh strainer. Added a few chunks of rock sugar, not processed white sugar.
