Coffee fedi, help me out!
I’m getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.
I don’t sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.
So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?
This is going to be a personal preference. Nobody can tell you what milk you like. You’ll want to talk to your barista. Explain your problem and ask advice. You may even try out a few of the milks they have to determine what you like. Arrange a tasting even, at a quiet time for the cafe.
You want to pick one of the common milks (like soy or oat) as your preference. You don’t want to get addicted to rice milk and then find it isn’t available at 90% of cafes.
People can’t tell me what I will like, but they can tell me what the like, and that will help me choose.
It’s not just about taste either. Someone pointed out for example that oat milk has less of an environmental impact than almond milk, and that sort of thing helps me make a choice when I go exploring alternatives :)
