How to make sweet lupin milk from beans
Print Recipe
Prep Time:3 days 5 minutes
Cook Time:2 hours
Blending:2 minutes
Total Time:3 days 2 hours 7 minutes

Equipment

  • Pot (You may use regular pot or a pressure pot or slow cooker)
  • Blender or food processor
  • Nut milk bag or cheesecloth

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Sweet lupin beans (200 gr.)
  • 4 Cups Water (plus more to soak and cook) (1 liter)

Instructions

  • Soak the sweet lupin beans in tap water for at least a day (better if 3 days - the longer you soak them, the milder the resulting milk).
    Change the water around every 12 hours.
    Make sure your container is big enough: these beans usually expand their weight by 2.5 times when soaking!
  • Discharge the soaking water before cooking.
    Cook the beans until tender (however, take into consideration the sweet lupin doesn’t get as tender as regular beans).
    It will take around 1-2 hours in a regular pot (covered), 30 minutes with a pressure pot and 6-8 hours with a slow cooker.
    Make sure the beans are completely covered so the water is about 2 inches (5 cm) about the beans.
    Cooking sweet lupin beans
  • Once cooked, discharge the water used for cooking.
    Blend with fresh water for around 1-2 minutes.

  • Strain the mixture. You may use the remaining bean pulp for other recipes.

Notes

  • While cooking, some foam might arise to the top. I prefer discharging this water; then I add fresh water and bring to a boil again, this time to cook the beans with low heat until they are tender.
    However, you can skip this step.
  • Consider using the remaining pulp after straining to make this delicious and healthy dip.
  • I couldn’t find how many calories sweet lupin milk has, so I calculated it having roughly a third from cooked sweet lupin (I could be wrong).
