What is considered “milk”?

Question

A person who prohibited “milk” upon himself for a month (as a penalty) – is he permitted to have beverages that contain milk, such as coffee with milk and hot chocolate?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It depends on the intention of the one who made the vow. 

If you are not sure, perform hatarat nedarim (annulment of vows).
