There is a traditional drink called koumis which is made of fermented milk (traditionally mare's milk) . I have made one batch using fat free lactose free milk and one batch of lactose free free milk mixed with honey to make a mead called a lactomel I am planning on experimenting with regular milk. The flavors are quite er... interesting... Drinkable, ... yes, but certainly not something I would reach for as my drink of choice in a quiet evening. but both the koumis and the lactomel are very young. The curds, by the way are deliciously sweet and alcoholic. Soy, I have not tried, so I apologize if I have hi-jacked your post
