      Not milk no, but we could use oils. Vegetable oil, cooking oil, palm oil, oil from nuts etc. Its not easy buts its possible.

      It might be possible to use the sugars in coke to do a fermentation process (or feed to them case producing bacteria), potentially producing gas that you could use in your house to heat it or cook your food.
