@shain, please say more about these milks.

 

My understanding is that east Asian countries have a different approach to milk drinking than the West. Perhaps originating from it once being a novel ingredient. In Taiwan, flavored milks are available bottled in any convenience store, and are made fresh in any night market. And let's not get into milk and bubble teas. I saw many fruit milks there, from bananas (the only fruit flavored milk I've seen here in Israel) to bitter gourds. My favorite was a freshly juiced ripe papaya with just milk added, it was creamy, refreshing and tropical tasting but delicate enough to not overtake the milk (I'm a milk lover, tough I don't usually drink it). I had a few interesting ones from 7-11 - melon milk, orange milk, mixed fruit milk (it tasted familiar, but it took me a long time to figure that it tastes like Trix cereal, which I haven't had in years). Many I haven't tried: apple milk, mango, mung bean milk (note to self that I should try and make anko milk).

I guess the bottom line is that I should try mixing juices and milk 👨‍🔬
