Milk Preparation

Method

Milk Preparation

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
