A beverage: it is milk, milk is a beverage
A broth: it can be considered broth for the soup that is a bowl of cereal
A sauce: it is a liquid covering the cereal and often subtling changing it's flavor like a sauce, dry cereal can also be dipped in it
Don't matter to me, I take my cereal dry.
I'm edgy like that.

American Sign Language uses a compound sign for cereal combining the signs for 'breakfast/morning' and 'soup.' So it's a breakfast soup. And broth is a related word. So it's a broth, IMO.
I have a much longer explanation of why it's /not/ a broth, but doubt anyone here is that interested in etymology and lexicography.

To be as concise as I can manage, 'broth' is an archaic past tense verb. Today, we'd use 'brewed' for the verb and 'broth' for the noun (the result of something that's been brewed; think 'witch's brew') when the result of such brewing is meant to be thought of as a food rather than a drink. As the milk itself is not brewed, the milk in a bowl of cereal and milk cannot prescriptively be considered a broth.
English does this with a few archaic past tense verb forms. Another is 'wrought' which is an archaic form of 'worked' but is today used almost exclusively as an adjective (EG 'wrought iron' IE 'worked iron' IE 'iron that is no longer rough').
I feel like Susie Dent when Jimmy Carr's taking the piss and calling her boring for being a lexicographer. Sorry.

That actually makes the phrase "wrought of iron" make a lot more sense.
