Method:
  1. Soak the beans in water for at least 12 hours. Drain all the water and wash the soaked beans.
  2. Grind the soaked beans in a blender to a smooth paste using 4 cups of water. Strain to extract the milk.
  3. Boil this milk, add the Epsom salts and remove from the flame. Strain the soya bean curd through a muslin cloth placed on a strainer.
  4. Press the bean curd and put some weight on it so that all the water is drained out. Remove the weight after a few hours.
  5. To store for a longer period, refrigerate in a container filled with water. Use as required.
