This low-fat milk can be used in numerous ways in the kitchen. It is suitable for drinking directly from the carton, chilled or at room temperature. In baking, it contributes moisture and richness to batters for cakes, muffins, and breads. It can also be heated to create smooth sauces, gravies, or to warm up for a comforting beverage. For breakfast, it is often poured over cereal or blended into smoothies. Its mild flavor makes it a good addition to many recipes without overpowering other ingredients.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep the remaining milk refrigerated in its original container. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent spoilage and absorption of odors from the refrigerator. It is best consumed before the expiration date printed on the carton for optimal quality and taste.
