My family can never seem to estimate how much milk we’ll consume in a week. One week, we run out in two days. The next, the extra jug sits in the fridge until it expires. But good news—I recently explore a simple fix: you can freeze milk!
How to Freeze Milk Without Making a Mess
Begin by discharging about one cup from a full plastic gallon. Milk spreads when it freezes. Without the extra space, your jug could burst and leave a frosty mess in your freezer.
Best Ways to Store It
Once you’ve made room, you have two options:
- Freeze the whole jug, or
- Pour milk into ice cube trays for smaller recipe-ready portions.
- Important note: only freeze milk in plastic containers. Glass jars can snap from the extreme cold.
How Long Does Frozen Milk Last?
You can safely keep frozen milk for up to three months.
To thaw it:
- Store it in the fridge for 24 hours, or
- If you’re in a rush, drown the container in cold water. It’ll thaw in about 30 minutes.
Why You’ll Love This Trick
I had no idea you could freeze milk—but now I do, I’m spaced! This trick saves me from:
- Last-minute grocery runs
- Spitting expired milk down the drain
- Feeling guilty over wasted food
It’s also super useful in everyday situations:
- Stocking up during a sale? Freeze the extras.
- Heading out of town? Freeze what’s left instead of tossing it.
- Just need a splash for coffee? Use a frozen cube.
Give It a Try!
If your family’s milk habits are as erratic as mine, freezing milk might just be your new favorite kitchen hack.
