Plant milk is pretty much what it sounds like; it's a milk substitute made using plants, rather than coming from animals. It is a non-dairy alternative to normal milk and is suitable for vegans and those who have a problem with dairy products.
Plant milk is not a new invention. There was as North African drink that came to Spain before 1000 AD and in English the word "milk" has been used to refer to plant juices that are similar to milk since 1200 AD.
A number of different plants are used to make plant milk, with soy, coconut (which actually contains a plant milk inside the shell) and almond being the most common. Just like normal milk, plant milk can be used to make cream, cheese, ice cream and yoghurt, or substances similar to these.
