almond-milk
Vegan dairy substitute
Almond milk is a plant-based beverage made by blending almonds with water and straining out the solids.
It serves as a dairy-free alternative to cow's milk, popular among vegans, the lactose-intolerant, and those who simply prefer the taste: I take my coffee with almond milk.
The hyphenated form is less common than the open compound almond milk.
