The maceration process that “MILKs” any protein rich bio-nutrients is usually done to separate the “meal” or mezocarpe of the nut/bean/etc.
Typically protein rich legumes, beans, nuts,etc are 65-87% water/liquid content. Therefore, separating the mesocarpe from the liquid usually involves a cooking process of some kind where the liquid and the processed mesocarpe separates.
With soy beans you get tofu and soy milk.
Almonds, almond milk and almond byproducts like marzipan or almond flour.
Etc
