This milk can be poured directly into a glass for drinking or used as a liquid component in recipes. It is suitable for adding to coffee or tea, whisking into pancake batter, or incorporating into sauces and soups. It can also be used to make smoothies or as a base for creamy desserts. When cooking, it can be heated gently but should not be boiled vigorously, as this can cause it to curdle.
