That’s weird. I am VERY picky about my coffee, and that was probably the hardest thing for me about going vegan (aside from the Cheese Factor). I ADORE almond milk in my lattes, and I have an almond milk latte at least once a day that I make myself. I steam the milk to about 145 degrees, though I have forgotten and heated it to MUCH higher temperatures than that and never had it de-emulsify.

A local vegan restaurant makes homemade nut milks and makes their lattes from that, and even those hold up to the steaming process perfectly. Maybe it was just the brand you bought?

[...] Some delicious alternatives to milk are soy milk and almond milk. If you’re new to trying these as milk substitutes, go with an open mind. While they don’t taste like cow’s milk at all, they are great on cereal, for cooking and on their own. Opt for the sweetened versions if you are new to them. Even sweetened, some brands of soy milk contain less sugar than cow’s milk. [...]

GMO and soya. We must be careful here. In UK no GMO soya (or any other GMO rubbish) is allowed to be imported for human consumption. We are luckier tan you lot in the USA who are routinely fed and watered on agro-industrial crap.

Vegan milks can vary quite a bit from brand to brand. Blue Diamond almond milk (the sort in the fridge section, not the asceptic box) is quite good, if you haven’t tried that sort already. My sister is a big fan of Silk unsweetened soy milk (also in the fridge section).

I have yet to find a milk alternative that doesn’t taste, well, yucky. I can get past the fact that none of them will taste anything like milk, but do they have to taste like damp, musty cardboard? I’ve tried “milks” made from soy, almonds, rice and hemp. All of them have a distinct and unpleasant aftertaste for me. Sweetened forms are WAY too sweet. Vanilla flavoring helps, but not for all applications. I tried to make an almond milk latte, and instead of froth I got scum and de-emulsified oil.

If anyone could suggest specific brands that they’ve found more palatable, I’d be really grateful.
