What Can You Do With “Expired” or Sour Milk? Don’t Toss It Yet! (Page 2 ) | March 22, 2025

2. For Your Plants
a. Fertilizer for Plants
Plants love calcium, and sour milk is packed with it! Dilute the milk with water (1 part milk to 4 parts water) and use it to water your garden. It’s especially great for tomatoes, peppers, and roses.

b. Compost Booster
Add your sour milk to the compost pile. It helps break down organic material faster, enriching your compost with valuable nutrients.

3. Beauty and Skincare
a. Nourishing Bath Soak
Turn your bath into a luxurious spa experience. Add a cup of sour milk to warm bathwater for a moisturizing and skin-softening soak, just like Cleopatra’s famed milk baths!

b. DIY Face Mask
The lactic acid in sour milk can gently exfoliate and brighten your skin. Mix a tablespoon of sour milk with a teaspoon of honey and apply it to your face for a natural glow.
