No, we’re not claiming soymilk comes from a cow. Today’s retro-hip version of the soda fountain classic Black Cow —also known as a root beer float made with ice cream— is made with vanilla soymilk. It has the added flavor of coffee and perhaps a drop of lime juice. Vanilla soymilk provides creaminess as well as protein. Serves 1 1 cup root beer ½ cup vanilla soymilk ¼ teaspoon coffee extract optional, ½ teaspoon lime juice (fresh, or bottled) optional, a dollop of ice cream or soy ice cream to float on top Add root beer. Vanilla soymilk, coffee extract and optional lime juice to a glass. If desired, top with a small amount of soy ice cream.To create a cocktail, add a shot of Kahlua.

Drink some plant protein. The classic horchatas consumed in Spain and Mexico start with a liquid that is made by steeping grains, nuts or chufa (a a tuberous root from Africa). The drink is sweetened and flavored with vanilla and cinnamon. Our version starts with vanilla soymilk, providing both some sweetness as well as vanilla flavor. (To refresh your memory, plain soymilk is made by soaking, cooking, pressing and grinding soybeans. Some brands of plain, unsweetened soy milk have only two ingredients, water and soybeans.) Experiment by adding a little lemon, coconut or nutmeg flavors to the mix. For a cocktail version, add vanilla-flavored rum. Serves 1 8 oz. vanilla soymilk ¼ teaspoon cinnamon 1 pinch of nutmeg 1 teaspoon honey Optional, for garnish: 1 cinnamon stick. Add ingredients to a glass and stir. If desired, garnish with a cinnamon stick.
