Soak the soya beans till soft. After which you wash and take it for grinding, after the grinding you will sieve, throw way the chaff.

Meanwhile your alum is already soaked in 2 litre water. Immediately the soya milk on fire starts boiling, you start adding the alum water gradually till it the soya milk on fire starts forming lumps on its own and starts separating on its own from the water, then you stop pouring the alum water and allow it to keep boiling for 20 more minutes.
