Struggling to Keep Milk from Going to Waste?
My family never guesses milk right—some weeks we run out in two days, others we toss a full jug. But I found a fix: freeze it!
How to Freeze Milk (Without a Mess):
Pour out 1 cup from a full plastic gallon—milk expands when frozen and can burst if too full.
Storage Options:
Freeze the whole jug.
Or pour into ice cube trays for small portions.
Important: Only use plastic. Glass can crack in the freezer.
How Long Does It Last?
Frozen milk keeps for up to 3 months.
To Thaw:
Place in the fridge for 24 hours.
Or submerge in cold water to thaw in 30 minutes.
Why It’s a Game-Changer:
I used to toss expired milk or make emergency store runs. Now I freeze extras during sales,
preserve leftovers before trips, and keep cubes for coffee or recipes.
Give It a Try!
If your milk usage is unpredictable like mine, freezing milk is the perfect hack. It saves money, guilt, and time.
Now if only I could figure out how fast we go through cereal…
