Greeen Soy Beans,White Soy Milk

A few weeks ago, I delved into the intriguing question: "If my soy beans are green, why is my soy milk white?" I described how soy milk is commonly made with mature beige-colored soy beans, thereby producing a white colored soy milk. Yet young green soy beans are commonly used as edamame and not made into milk. But I had to ask, is it possible to make soy milk out of green edamame soy beans? My curiosity got the best of me and I set out on an adventure to a) make 'white' soy milk from scratch for the very first time and b) attempt to make 'green' soy milk from edamame beans. Check out my soy milk experiment...

First, here are the general ingredients I used:
Homemade Soy Milk
vegan
1 cup soaked overnight, soy beans (dried)
*I simply heated the edamame, no soaking needed
2 cups purified water (you may need less, depending on your beans)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup
optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
*I'd suggest doubling or tripling this recipe for you batch of milk
*I've heard that adding a bit of fresh ginger can help the recipe too
