Life is Watch Human Capital Onlinefull of existentially difficult questions. Here's one of them: Out of all the non-dairy milks, which milk should I use?

Aren't you glad this is something you have to think about now?

Which milk is best for my coffee?

You have a couple of options here. A lot of people like the thickness and subtle flavor of coconut milk in their coffee, some prefer oat milk, and still others are soy milk devotees. Some, though, say soy milk gives coffee an unpleasant aftertaste.

The main thing here is to make sure the milk doesn't curdle into tiny chunks in your drink. Soy milk and almond milk, for example, can curdle in coffee if its temperature is significantly different than the coffee itself. (This is more likely to happen if the coffee is highly acidic.) To prevent this problem with hot coffee, allow it to cool a little before pouring in the milk. You could also opt for a less acidic brew.

Which milk is best as a baking substitute?

After an intensive pumpkin pie experiment, Food52 declared soy milk the best substitute for baking. "The finished product was nice," they wrote. "Great color and browned top." Another wild card option: banana milk, according to Food and Wine.

Have a recipe that calls for heavy cream? Full-fat coconut cream, baby.

Which milk is best for a creamy soup?

Which milk is best for cereal?

Which milk is best to drink on its own?

Almond milk is delicious, especially if you make your own and add cinnamon. (It's easier than it sounds!) Other popular choices, according to a Reddit perusal: cashew milk (of course, don't drink it if you don't like the taste of cashews) and oat milk.

If you're looking for a vegan milk to taste like cow's milk, though, you're probably going to be disappointed. Let the milks be themselves! That's all they can do.
