I’ve had 2 cups of mocha almond milk and a cup of chocolate oat milk. I think the chocolate oat milk wins but what say you?

Oh and cashew nut milk is so good I have to drink the whole carton in one go. I can’t refrigerate it. Impossible.

    Oat tastes good and causes way less negative environmental impact than the other types, so win-win!

    Oat milk, by far. I find it tastes the best of them all in coffee and tea, and works well in things like mashed potatoes too. I do also put it in porridge, but that feels… Uncomfortable.

      You put oat milk in mashed potatos but porridge is too far? That’s wrong, you’re wrong. Eveything is wrong! Oat milk is sweet, like porridge should be.

      Potatos are savoury.

      What other depths of depravity do you plumb? Are you going to tell me you put orange with oat milk, next? Mix oat milk with toothpaste? Why not just whack all the milks in a blender and summon Satan himself?!

      P.S. I like your avatar. Very cute.

        The sweetness if fine, offset by lashings of salt and butter (or butter alternative).

        I just have to stop for a moment when I realise I’m covering a pan of oats with… the liquid from what would have been another pan of oats at some point. Oatception.

        PS: Thanks!

    Vanilla soy milk.

    Or kefir if that counts. It’s not milk, it’s not yogurt; it’s somewhere in between.

    I really didn’t like almond milk, the only other milk alternative I’ve had to the soy milk. Soy milk is at least creamy. Almond milk is pretty much nut water. 🤢

      I don’t think kefir counts, as OP is asking about milk alternatives, but kefir is (at least traditionally) made from dairy milk.

      If you’ve not tried oat milk, I recommend it, I think it’s nicer than soy and it has that creaminess to it that you say you want.

    Oat milk for me, too. I’ve found there’s quite a bit of variation between brands, though. I like the thicker, creamier varieties that have just a touch of sweetness.

    The rice milk I’ve tried has been largely flavorless; soy milk has that “soy milk” flavor that I don’t hate, but I’m not really into; and the nut milks I’ve tried (especially almond milk) have an odd, slight sourness that I find really unpleasant. I’d like coconut milk more if it tasted more coconutty.

    I’m a big fan of almond milk. When I have a chai latte it’s always with almond milk. I generally find it the closest to milk, all the other ones have their own unique taste which impacts the flavour of the thing I’m having it with.

      That’s a fantastic idea!! Can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that. I love chai tea but I’m very, very first about the levels of spices and flavours. So I’ll often add a touch of extra cinnamon. I’m gonna try some almond milk and see how it goes. 👍

        Another one for chai lattes: they go very well with spiced rum, and no one will even think that might be in a Starbucks cup!

    I feel i should have some strong opinions on milk…

    Seriously though, are there any which don’t change the taste of tea? All the ones I’ve tried make it taste quite different.

      Almond milk? I’m not sure, I’ve not really had it in tea, but it not massively changing the flavour is exactly the reason I use it for cereals and chai lattes.
