Morphology

milky + texture

The adjective 'milky' (cloudy/pale white, similar to milk) directly modifies 'texture' (the tactile or visual quality), so the combined meaning — a texture resembling milk in appearance or mouthfeel — is transparently derived from the constituents. This adjective+noun composition is a common, compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words can readily understand.

Etymology

Milky texture comes from the smooth, creamy feel and look of milk. Here milky means 'like milk' and texture means the way something feels or looks, so the phrase describes something that is 'smooth and creamy' or a little cloudy in appearance.
