The nutritional composition, appearance, and flavour of good quality soymilk is remarkably similar to that of cow's milk. All traditional soymilks were filtered, whereby the okara (insoluble soybean pulp) was removed. Soymilk is prepared by various processes such as soaking, blanching, grinding, sieving, squeezing etc.Ice-cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavourings and colourings are used in addition to (or in replacement of) the natural ingredients. This mixture is stirred slowly while cooling to prevent large ice crystals from forming; the result is a smoothly textured ice cream.
