These are beverages made with vegetable ingredients (cereals, seeds, etc.) grinded and macerated in water, with the purpose of passing on their nutritional properties to the resulting liquid. Some of these beverages can be sweetened and flavored with some spices, even though their natural flavor can be enjoyed as well.

Even when they have a milk-like aspect, they do not contain milk and their nutrition values have nothing to do with milk's, and therefore they are not a substitute for milk..

Way of preparation
