I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place drained beans and 500 grams of water into
"Closed lid" and cook for 6 minutes at 80 degrees 
"Counter-clockwise operation" on speed 1-2. Ensure that the beans are cooked at 80 degrees for at least 2 minutes.Blend for 1 minute on speed 8 until smooth and creamy.
Add remaining water, pandan leaves and sugar and cook for 6 minutes at 90 degrees on speed 2-3. Towards the end of cooking, keep an eye on it to ensure that it doesn't boil over.
Cool, strain through a calico cloth or nut bag and serve warm or cold. This is meant to be drunk as a beverage but can also be used on cereal or as a milk substitute (in which case you may prefer to not add pandan leaves and sugar).
Tip
I have used the other TM method for making soya milk, but always found that there was a slightly bitter aftertaste. I researched the reason why and discovered that the soy beans need to be cooked to approx 82 degrees before being blended to avoid the bitterness and 'beany' taste.
By using this method, there is also less likelihood of the milk boiling or foaming over. If the milk does start to boil over, turn off for a few seconds and then on again. You need to complete the cooking process.
If using organic soya beans there is no need to change the soaking water more than once.
If you're not used to 'real' soya milk, you can make it taste more like the commercial stuff by adding vanilla, malt, oats or barley (during cooking process). I'm not sure in what quantities as I'm happy drinking the real, unadulterated soya milk.
The left over pulp is called okara and has several uses, but is quite bland and grainy. Use it in your worm farm or bokashi bucket.

Recipe works a treat
making this for my mum who's now Gluton and dairy allergic
had to adjust the time the first time as I used cold water but using warm/hot seems to get to the 80 degrees to ensure 2 mins! Mum said it was a bit nutty so halved the sugar and added two caps of vanilla essence which she says makes it taste like the store bought!
very cost effective with a kilo of beans costing me $3:45 and only needing 100grams for a litre of milk
Tried this today and it was perfect. I use a TM5 and the temperature is shown therefore I increased the first cooking time by 2 mins. Well recommended recipe. Thanks......
Hi Richard. Basically, the beans need to be cooked for at least 2 minutes at 80; and the 6 minutes allows for heating up to 80 and maintaining that tempertaure for at least 2 minutes. However, the water you use may be colder (in winter for instance) and may take longer to heat up. Therefore you need to be mindful of this and may need to add extra cooking time. Hope this makes sense!

Glad to find this recipe that I am hoping will save me some labor from the way I make it normally.
There is one thing that is confusing though. At the start you say to cook for 6 Minutes at 80° on speed one or two. Then you say to ensure that the beans are cooked at 80° for at least two minutes. Does this mean an additional two minutes to the original six?
Love this recipe!! Tried it tonight and it tastes fantastic.
I added the pandan leaves and it gave it an earthy caramel sort of flavour.
So glad you all liked it. There seems to be a movement away from soy products. A pity, as it really is a nutritious food. And when it's made as simply as this - no additives, unadulterated, fresh - it brings you back to the basic goodness of real food. Made in the kitchen - not a science lab!
