Just call it “milk replacement”, or ingredient + “milk” like in “oat milk”.
That would be reasonable, yeah. Every normal person calls it “oat milk”. But the dairy industry has lobbied to make that illegal, so now it’s generally called “oat drink” on products.
“Drink” is a bit more strict than I would have been. But it’s better than “mylk”, “mölk”, “malk”, “milk”… or all the other tries on making it sound like the thing it replaces while still being legally distinct. All I want is being able to quickly pre-filter products by name before reading the list of ingredients.
