    it’s not noticeably different than water.

    That’s kind of what I was thinking. I’ve only had it a couple times though. Real milk thickens up and absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients when it’s heated. Didn’t seem like that would work well with the nut milks but I haven’t tried it so I asked. Others have said it works fine though so idk… maybe I’ll just get some and see what happens.

      My wife has a late-in-life diagnosed cow’s milk allergy. I’ve been experimenting with alternatives for 18 years.

      There are often a small handful of substitutes that work for specific dishes. A vegan place near me makes absolutely banging DF mac and Cheese, Daiya flavored cheesecakes are 70% of what a real cheesecake is. None of the substitutes are catch all, most aren’t even catch-multi.

      Country Crock (or many other brands) DF whipping cream is the closest sub I can find for things, but you have to be careful, it has a subtle sweetness in it that messes with things you don’t want sweet.
