Milk can be enjoyed chilled as a refreshing drink on its own. It is commonly poured over breakfast cereals, adding moisture and a creamy texture. In baking, milk contributes to the tenderness and moisture of cakes, muffins, and breads. It can also be blended into smoothies with fruits and other ingredients for a creamy base. For sauces and soups, milk can be used to create a smooth, rich consistency, though it should be heated gently to prevent curdling.
How it differs from similar foods
