How to freeze milk

I dug out this post, read it, dusted it off and am reposting it. If you ever want to stock up on milk for a great sale, or have a bunch of free milk catalinas because you got a bunch of cereal….here you go. You can freeze it! So if recent concerns about rising milk prices have you worried, here is a way you can stock up on some.

  • First, of course, you need the storage space in your freezer.
  • Open the container and pour out about 1″-2″ of milk so it has space to expand when it freezes.
  • Then put whatever gallons you have extra in the freezer and well, freeze them.
  • When you need them, you need about 24-48 hours planning time.
  • You defrost it in the refrigerator and that is how long it takes to defrost.
  • When you defrost it, write the current date on the jug with a sharpie.
  • Of course the dates that are printed on them will have no value, so you want to know when you defrosted & opened it. Opened gallons of milk should be fine for 5-7 days past the defrost date.

  1. I was wondering after freezing the milk does it have a different taste?
