Making Milk from
Beans
The Chinese have, for some time
past, been manufacturing a very satis-
factory milk from small rellow beans.
These curd beans are first thoroughly
soaked, after which they pass through
crushing rollers or
stones. The pulp
is then tranferred to tubs and strained
through cheese-cloth diluted with
water, and afterwards boiled, when
is strained again and ready for use
In Japan, manufactured milk is being
made from the “soja” bean. Here the
beans are first soaked, and then boiled
in water until a white liquid is ob-
tained. To this is added sugar and
