In my distinctly non-vegan opinion, oat milk goes really well
with coffee -
I agree. In fact we generally keep 3 plant based milks on the go. Oat
milk to whiten hot beverages, unsweetened soya for my cereal and
sweetened for hers.

For me soya or soy not sure which or if they are the same is far too oily for anything.
I'd rather use WD40 ;-)

Oat milk for Tea or coffee is fine for me although I still use
cows milk a few times a week just in case there's something I'm missing vitamin wise.
My ancestors were brought up drinking it for as long as they were brought up to wear shoes and clothes.

Need to find soemthing to use for making coctails such as grasshopper and velevet hammer which use
types of cream have some cashew nut 'oil' and almond to try .
soya oil coaguladed when I tied it


Any can be used for any role, just we prefer that range for those uses
(and variety is the spice of life eh). ;-)
perhaps even better than cows milk does.
What isn't. ;-)

Most liguors I've tried.

I just
happened to see it taste-tested favourably on tv, I think on
one of those "Inside the Factory things" on a milk producer
and thought I had little to lose by trying it.
And that's the right attitude Paul, especially if it means in doing
so, less suffering and death is imposed on innocent creatures (even if
you aren't doing it for that reason).

I hope so although transporting all the soya from china by boat
might be causing whales problems.

and as for almond milk, seems there's always some problem to overcome.

There was even
some food-sciencey reason why it was expected to work well.
Oh?
I
did buy a slightly fancier brand of oat milk, but I was very
pleasantly surprised.
We (or daughter atm) just get's it from Aldi I think but we have been
buying ours (mostly Soya) from Sainsbury's for over 5 years now.

I haven;t been able to tell the differnce between aldis at 79p and the local
shops grey baritistor(SP) at £2.49 so well please I can;t tell the differnce


Haven't been adventurous enough to try it with tea, though :-)

I found it fine, just don;t use too much I use slightly less (colourwise) than I would with milk.

We have a friend who is 'fussy' about how he takes his tea, it has to
have just the right amount of milk etc and whilst I might make an
effort to get it right for us (or a visitor who expresses a
preference), I normally say 'white / normal / no sugar thanks' to
anyone asking me how I like my tea they are making me and drink it
'whatever' (well, so far anyway).

White & normal ! racist homophob ;-)


Even our local biker burger-van keeps a selection of plant based milks
because more and more people are asking / preferring it over the stuff
meant for baby cows (even big hairy bikers). ;-)

it certainly keeps longer (unopened) than cows milk which is also handy.
Don;t need to keep it in the fridge until opened.

It's no different from going from say Heinz baked beans to 'Own label'
that are slightly different but not 50p (or whatever) different /
better per tin. Well, in general the own label BB are lower in sugar
and salt than Heinz and so like plant based milk, they are actually
better for you. ;-)
