ELI5: Why does milk help soothe a spicy mouth better than other drinks? Is it specific to animal milk, or would nut milk have the same effect?

It is specific to animal milk. Animal milk contains casein which binds to the spicy thing neutralising it. Nutmilk doesnt have it because nuts themselves do not have casein and the process of milkifying a nut does not add or cause it to have any either.
