soy milk

Vegan latte base

Soy milk is a plant-based beverage made from soybeans, used as an alternative to dairy milk.

It has a slightly beany flavor and similar protein content to cow's milk.

Common in East Asian cuisines for centuries, it became popular in Western countries among vegans, the lactose intolerant, and those avoiding animal products: I'll have a latte with soy milk.
