Milk

[Mollypolly2610]

Why is everyone buying all the milk? Can you freeze it?

None in our local coop left by 11am this morning

Yes you can. I Asked DH as he's in catering and I googled it for extra clarification

Yes

I’ve frozen some and also bought some uht - but uht was almost sold out near us!

UHT is sold out here too.

Milk freezes perfectly. Just make sure you pour a little bit out of the plastic bottle to allow for expansion.

If you did freeze it, how long would it be good for?

Yes freeze it.

I keep mine for six months

Make sure you shake it after you take it out the freezer

Or try your milkman

Be aware that it looks a bit weird when frozen but defrosts fine.

It's probably OK for months, but unless you have a massive freezer, you probably don't want to fill it up with milk, so I wouldn't go overboard.

Cows won't stop producing milk, and farmers will have to continue to milk them, so unless the dairy supply chain totally collapses then we aren't going to run out.
