1
Pour 1 cup of cold skim milk into a clean glass. Serve chilled, or proceed to warm or flavor as desired.
2
Storage
Keep unused milk refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below and use within the date on the carton. Return to fridge promptly after serving.

3
Vanilla-Sweetened Skim Milk
Add 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp honey or sugar to the glass of skim milk. Stir vigorously for 10–15 seconds until evenly combined and dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
4
Chocolate Skim Milk
For a chocolate version, whisk 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder with 1 tsp honey or sugar and 1–2 tsp warm water to form a smooth paste. Pour into 1 cup cold skim milk and stir briskly until fully combined. Alternatively, use a small milk frother for 10–20 seconds to blend and slightly froth the drink.
5
Warm Skim Milk
To serve warm, pour 1 cup skim milk into a small saucepan. Heat over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until steam rises and small bubbles appear at the edge (do not boil), about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and optionally stir in vanilla, honey, or cinnamon. Pour into a mug and serve immediately.
6
Cinnamon Skim Milk
Stir 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon and 1 tsp honey or sugar into a glass of skim milk. Mix thoroughly and serve chilled, or add before warming and heat as directed in 'Warm Skim Milk' for a comforting drink.
