What About Alternative Milks?
A large portion of the world’s population are lactose intolerant, but that doesn’t mean they should miss out on a latte. Alternative milks include soy, rice, nuts, hemp, and more.

If you’re interested in making some yourself, Gemma Stafford provides a recipe for three nut-based milks: almond, cashew, and coconut.
