Ah. I'm sure almond milk would work for you. Lactose is found only in dairy milk, so no worries about that. And it tastes pretty good. I generally don't buy it just because it's too expensive for me. (Usually almost twice the cost of the same amount of dairy milk.

I prefer cashew to almond milk, but I also think almond milk is ecologically irresponsible.

what is there a shortage of almonds? D: nooooo

So the problem I have with almonds (and also Walnuts) is that in the United States they're primarily grown in California, which would be fine except Cali is basically in a constant state of drought. Almond trees require a LOT of water to produce decent quality almonds. There's a figure going around that says as much as 1 gallon of water is needed per nut for the tree to produce properly, but that isn't really a scientifically tested estimate.Regardless of the actual numbers, the truth is that they're really just not (in the US anyway) an ecologically friendly option.

Cashew trees aren't a whole lot better, but they are imported from places outside the US more often than almonds so they're not drawing resources from an already overtaxed drought prone area.

Since you're not in the US this probably doesn't effect you at all, mdom lol

oooh right xD
I mean probably our almonds are imported too, hopefully not from the US
cashews are surely local!!!
