Ingredients

cup
soy beans
2
lemons
Instructions
Soak the soybeans for 12 hours.
Wash 3 times and rinse well. If you want, you can eliminate some of the skins that came off.
Blend 1 cup of soybeans with 2 cups of water until it foams.
Strain with a fine meshed cloth.
Pour the milk into a pan and cook for 5 minutes on low heat after it gets to a boil, stirring frequently.
If you desire a salty tofu, put 1 tablespoon of salt.
Increase the heat and boil while stirring, until the milk is rising.
Put the juice of 1 lemon for every liter of soymilk and give it a slight stir.
Boil for 1 minute on low heat, turn off the heat and wait for another minute in order to curdle.
Pour the curdled milk into a sieve and wait for the whey to drain.
If you want a firm tofu, put a weight on top and leave for a few hours.
Notes
Store the tofu in the fridge inside a closed pot to prevent drying out.
