As with all things soy in the west, I’m perplexed by the soy milk vs milk conversation.
Most of us in East / SE Asia drink soy AND dairy milk! (Same with tofu, which is often prepared with non-vegan products)
Soy is totally just its own beautiful
Also, homemade soy milks are very different from the weird stuff you get in western supermarket that are trying to imitate dairy. Look for a Chinese tofu shop that might also have fresh soy milk.
@skinnylatte almond milk was popular in medieval European cuisine and was often mixed with dairy milk. Somehow it fell out of favor at some point but horchata comes from that tradition. And often has dairy milk in it.
@thomasjwebb@skinnylatte I got hooked on 'almond tea' (aka almond milk) at 7-11 in Taipei and when I came back I was crushed to learn American commercial almond milk has no such rich flavor and is viewed almost solely as a dairy replacement. Have to add almond extract if you want anything close.
