Storing milk for long: Tips to store milk longer.

There are days when we just accumulate loads of milk and don't know what to do, or you might have plans to take a vacation and you don't know what to with the litres and litres of milk that is already in the fridge with a nearing expiry date! Well, here I am with a simple yet effective solution / call it a tip to store milk for further usage and cut down on wastage.

How to store Milk:

Freeze it! Yes, you heard it right. Just put them in the freezer and whenever you are back/ feel like using it, take the packet out and drop it a vessel of water. Once the milk defrosts, it's ready to be used. You can do the same to boil the milk.

How to use the frozen milk.

• Take the frozen milk out.

 

• Cut open the cover into a vessel and add little water.

                               

 

• Set the stove on low flame and let the milk to boil.

The packet displayed in the pictures above was to be used by 5th April but then I took a vacation and used it once I came back. Its 15th of April and the milk is still good.
