Morphology
The meaning 'a milk made from almonds' is directly compositional from 'almond' (the source) + 'milk' (a milk-like liquid); a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer this usage. The 'X milk' pattern is common in English and in many languages (e.g., Spanish 'leche de almendra', French 'lait d'amande'), reinforcing its predictability.
Etymology
Almond milk comes from the simple idea of making a milk-like drink by grinding almonds with water so the liquid looks like milk. That's why it means a drink made from plants and used instead of 'dairy milk'.
