Dairy free sipping creams
Hey all… been hella long since I’ve posted here. Have a friend that can’t do dairy. Are there any recipes for sippin creams without dairy? She’s gluten free and dairy free, so figured I’d use my corn liquor to make a sippin cream for her. Thoughts? Ideas? Recipes? Thanks everyone. Shine on!

Re: Dairy free sipping creams
There are a dozen or more different fake / imitation milks and coffee creamers on the market now. These are oil and water emulsions of : Soy, Rice, Pea, Almond, Coconut, Oat, Cashew, Macadamia nut, Brazil nut, Quinoa, Hemp or Flax. Each fake milk product pretty much comes with a draw back of one kind or another. But for the most part they are lactose and gluten free. In addition to water and the namesake vegetable fat, each intimation requires components like corn sugar, starch, vegetable protein, sodium caseinate, and stabilizers, such as gums or alginates; before they become convincing substitutes for milk or cream. (Algin or alginic acid is a viscous, gummy, edible polysaccharide taken from brown algae).
-Rice milks contain a lot of sugar and rice itself has a high glycemic index.
-Almond milk is low in saturated fat and contains no cholesterol or lactose. But the nut's cultivation is very wasteful of water and the fake milk has a poor shelf life. Once a container is opened, almond milk deteriorates just as quickly as real milk.
-Soy milk also requires significant amounts of water. It takes almost 300 L of water to make 1 L of soy milk.
-Oat milk was only invented in 1990, but has become very popular in the last decade. Oat milk contains rapeseed oil and its fabrication requires studious attention to chemical catalysts, enzymes and heat. The final product usually demands homogenization, pasteurization, chemical stabilizers, emulsifiers, vitamin and mineral fortification, salt, additional flavorings, added oils and of course sugar or another sweeter,
-Flax milk is made by boiling cold-pressed flaxseed oil with water. The resulting product is safe for people with allergies to lactose, nuts or soybeans; but it has a limp consistency with no protein or flavor. Flax milk may come with some Omega-3 fatty acids; but it must rely upon copious additions of thickeners, flavorings and proteins to make a convincing milk substitute.
-Hemp milk has enough calcium on its own that it doesn't need fortification. Hemp milk apparently has a buttery, nutty flavor but this is achieved partially by adding thickeners and flavoring agents. Hemp milk can be used like real milk for cooking and baking, but apparently makes a lousy coffee creamer.
-Coconut milk was once considered to be that liquid a person drank once a coconut was split open. That liquid is now called coconut water. Coconut milk (imitation milk) now comes from grating and shredding the pulp, and then that is soaked in hot water. As the oil content of coconut is high, there is a range of coconut milk products with varying fat contents. Processed coconut milk products are filtered and pasteurized; some are even homogenized. Coconut milk contains very little protein.
Goat's milk has less lactose than cow’s milk - so some people digest it more easily.
-Rice milks contain a lot of sugar and rice itself has a high glycemic index.
-Almond milk is low in saturated fat and contains no cholesterol or lactose. But the nut's cultivation is very wasteful of water and the fake milk has a poor shelf life. Once a container is opened, almond milk deteriorates just as quickly as real milk.

Re: Dairy free sipping creams
My wife got bit by a tick and got some thing called Alphgal . She’s been unable to eat anything from a four legged critter for years .
Anyway , just looking in Fridge and saw this . Guess’n similar products are available in States . It’s pretty much what Contrahead said . Full of stuff to make it what it is .
Vegans sure do cop some shit from some quarters , but one things for sure , the market is doing some amazing stuff , especially in the last few years when it comes to Vegan alternatives . Whilst what they eat may be a choice for most Vegans , folk with real food allergies to things like Dairy or Mammalian Carbs and proteins can now days safely choose and eat Vegan food .
Hell , we haven’t had real cheese or Icecream in our house for years . I now can’t stand eating real icecream . ….. but then , I have always been mildly Dairy intolerant .
Sorry Back in topic .

Re: Dairy free sipping creams
Almond milk is also high in oxalates, in case kidney health is a concern.
