I have been seeing this stuff called SILK in the store. It's soy milk,
or there are almond and other nut milks. I ma lactose intolerant, so I
have not had milk in years. Although I can do without drinking milk, I
had to stop eating cereal. I tried water and it was horrid. And eating
cereal dry is no good.

I bought some of this soy milk, and it was great on cereal. I drank some
straight and it was tasty and I'll drink it again.

But I can not understand how they get "MILK" out of soy beans or nuts.
I'm guessing they press them, but I'd think there would be oil, not
milk. This has me puzzled.

I'm not sure how to make soy milk but this tells you how to make nut milk.
The nuts are soaked, then blended with water and if you wish, strained.

Basically I think anything they call a "milk" is an emulsification of
a fat in water. Since water and oil to not mix well, what you get is a
suspension of little microscopic fat blobs in water, hence a milky
white color.

As a lifelong dry cereal fan, I put Blue Diamond Vanilla Almond milk
on my museli. I can drink it, too, but prefer beer.

If you're going juvenile on us, why aren't you laughing about milking
NUTS?

Sorry, I missed that Freudian little phrase. I had never thought about
how hey make almond "milk" until somone asked, and sinjce I know trhat
the milk we are m ost familiar with is merely an emulsion of fat in
watrer, I extrapolagted from that to explain that almond (nut) milk is
the same type emulsion. Fat in water, emulsified.
