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!

But why call in Milk then? Shouldnt it be called Nut juice or Seed juice?

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.
