Being lactose intolerant doesn't stop my wife from cheese. If you have a proper dairy allergy, are you like me who enjoys an Almond Milk Hot Chocolate?
Yeah, unfortunately proper, nasty allergy. It worsened when I become adult. I've learn to deal with it over time, I don't think there is many things I actually miss. One thing maybe - cottage cheese sprinkled with fresh spring onions and slices of radishes on the side:)
I like almond milk, it's my favourite, then oat milk:) Don like soy one all that much though 😝
I like oat chocolate milk, is very thick, and not that sweet. Oatly is my very favourite!
As for hot - I'm making cocoa at home with half in half - coconut and almond milk. I use dark bitter cocoa:) This kind that is normally used for baking. Sometimes I am adding cinnamon bark, or few cardamom seeds, or vanilla stick to enrich the flavour:)
Sounds like we have similar tastes in beverages. Oat milk seems to be hard to come by in these parts, ie; it is much more expensive.
Here is on average about 3x more expensive than regular milk. Almond, oat or coconut milk it is same price shelf, it is really depend form the brand. For almond milk the best one I have found so far is 'Plenish' one, no additions and other nonsense.
Your hot chocolate sounds like a spiced rum, which used to be my go to beverage when I still consumed alcohol.
I like experiment with spices. I was trying everything with my coffee too :D
I have little to no knowledge about alcohols in general. What way it is 'spiced' rum? It is just high percentage beverage with pinch of cinnamon in it? Or more sophisticated way - would it be a rum aged in an oak barrel that previously housed the soul of a 100-year-old chardonnay?
Yeah, spiced rum is just using things like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and those things that you would likely put in a cake, but putting it in the rum. Rum is made from sugarcane, so it is basically a cake in liquid form when it is spiced and mixed with various things.
One of my favourite things to do was to take the flavoured vanilla pepsi or coke (it didn't matter which), use a spiced rum (Kraken, or Captain Morgan black) - add lime wedges, and finish it with a dash of a fortified white wine made by a local place.
It would taste like a caramel delight with hints of vanilla and was such easy drinking. To me at least. I prefer to have my liver not do so much heavy lifting any more, so no more. Also, it was just empty calories.
Just realised what a narrow palette of flavours I have :D
Love lime though. For cooking mostly, but I just cannot get enough this thing. Grated lime zest can make even lame, boring food exciting!

It is actually sound like dessert:) Yeah, liver over some short time pleasures:)
I don't drink much alcohol, but I don't like sweet and thick, caramel - like structured ones. Don't really understand the concept :D
Ha! Allergy to dairy :D
