Almond milk is a popular dairy-free alternative made from ground almonds and water. It offers a light nutty flavor and is lower in calories and fat than cow's milk. It's a great option for vegans and those with lactose intolerance. However, it may curdle in very hot coffee due to its lower fat content, so it's best served with coffee that's not piping hot.
