Can you steam almond or rice milk?

[KJoslyn78]

I've been looking at warm winter drinks, and some of them call for steamed milk. As I'm trying to cut out milk (abet slowly) i was wondering if i can make drinks that called for steamed milk by using almond or rice milk. I would also consider using soy, but for drinking i much, MUCH prefer teh taste of rice or almond milks.

Thanks

I steam rice milk every day for a latte in the mornings. It's a bit thin, and the the froth is not as substantial as cow's milk but I like it OK. Soy froths better, but now I am avoiding it most of the time because it interferes with my thyroid.

I've steamed almond milk and hemp milk for coffees as well. Works OK. I thought the almond was a bit gritty, but it's been awhile. Chocolate Soy Dream froths very well.

yeah - in regards to soy - i have hypothyrodism - so i try to avoid it if i can - cause i'm not sure if soy is ok - and if so - what forms of soy are ok - ya know?

I guess first i need to find a steamer/frother before i can try either milk! LOL
