Milk and honey recipes are a wonderful treat and widely varied. If you don’t eat dairy products or cow’s milk for health or ethical reasons, there’s plenty of tasty substitutes readily available. Soy products are a great alternative to dairy and healthy too. Soy has been thought to be a possible preventive measure in breast cancer and helpful with menopause symptoms. So if you or a loved one are lactose intolerant, a vegan, etc., don’t fret – there are still Shavuot options for you!
