What it is

How people cook with it
Milk is a versatile ingredient used in countless recipes, both sweet and savory. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for many dishes.

It can also be heated to create creamy sauces or gravies. Many people pour it over breakfast cereals or oatmeal for added richness and flavor. It can be used in smoothies and milkshakes as well.
