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.
I was wondering after freezing the milk does it have a different taste?
I don’t think so, and I drink big glasses of it.
