How do I find out if a milk substitute will work in my recipe?

Test Before Cooking

Before using a milk substitute in a recipe, boil a sample to see how it is affected by heat. For example, soy milk won't break down when heated, but it forms a "skin" very quickly. Some other milk alternatives like rice milk may curdle when lemon or vinegar is added.
