nut milk

Dairy-free alternative

Nut milk is a plant-based liquid made by blending nuts with water and straining the mixture, used as a dairy milk substitute: almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk (though oats aren't nuts).

The term covers the broader category of non-dairy milks marketed to vegans, the lactose intolerant, and the health-conscious.
