Milk Preparation
Method
Milk Preparation
Chill or Serve Cold
If serving milk cold, pour 4 cups of fresh whole milk from its container into a clean glass pitcher or individual glasses. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon sugar and/or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until dissolved. Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately with ice. Stir briefly before serving.
Warm for Hot Milk
If you prefer warm milk, pour 4 cups of whole milk into a small saucepan. Warm over low to medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming and to avoid scalding. Heat until steam begins to rise and small bubbles form at the edge (about 5–7 minutes) — do not boil. Remove from heat and optionally stir in 1 teaspoon sugar and/or 1 teaspoon vanilla. Serve immediately.
Storage
Store any unused milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below and consume within 3–5 days of opening. If warmed, cool quickly to refrigerator temperature before storing. Do not refreeze.
