It’s possible to freeze milk—were you aware of that?
Tired of Wasting Milk? Try Freezing It
If your milk use is unpredictable, freezing it can help cut waste and save money. “Some weeks we run out in two days, others we toss a full jug,” the author shares—but freezing was a game-changer.
How to Freeze Milk
To avoid a burst container, pour out 1 cup before freezing a full plastic jug—never use glass. You can also freeze milk in ice cube trays for smaller portions.
Storage & Thawing Tips
Frozen milk lasts up to 3 months. To thaw, refrigerate for 24 hours or submerge in cold water for faster results—about 30 minutes.
Why It Works
Freezing milk means fewer emergency store trips and less waste. “I freeze extras during sales, preserve leftovers before trips, and keep cubes for coffee or recipes.”
Give it a try—it’s a simple fix for an everyday problem.
