> Well, admittedly, I'm thinking in my native language, which is Greek, and where "almond milk" was basically milk mixed in with "Soumada" [1].

"Αμυγδαλόγαλα"; I confess I've never heard that word but maybe it's just an old word?

In Greek you don't tend to say that, you'd say Γάλα Αμύγδαλο instead (similarly Γάλα Σοκολάτα for chocolate milk, and Γάλα Τριαντάφυλλο for rose milk).
Ah, I see. Γάλα σοκολάτα, I know. I hadn't heard of the others but they make sense in that way.
