    You can make your own plant milk usually by soaking/boiling nuts/seeds in water and then blending that together. Some people use juicers for this, and then some people run the blended liquid through a filter to remove any bits. Cashew milk is lovely if homemade!

        You’ll have to ask the people who started calling them milks hundreds of years ago.

        They have a lot more in common with dairy milk than they do juice. And they’re also commonly used as dairy milk alternatives. Plant milk is a much better descriptor even if juice might be more “accurate”.

        I do it to piss off dairy farmers specifically. They hate it that I get to call it plant milk and that’s really funny to me.
