• Allow the milk to cool down to room temperature before storing. This prevents condensation and maintains the quality of the milk.

• Transfer the cooled milk into an airtight container. Glass jars or BPA-free plastic containers work best to preserve the freshness.

• Label the container with the date of preparation. This helps you keep track of its freshness and ensures you use it within a safe timeframe.

• Store the container in the refrigerator. The milk will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days when properly refrigerated.

• If you wish to freeze the milk, pour it into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top for expansion.

• Label the container with the date and freeze. Frozen milk can last up to 3 months.

• To thaw frozen milk, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it thaw slowly overnight. This helps maintain its texture and flavor.

• Once thawed, give the milk a good shake or stir to recombine any separated components.

• Reheat the thawed milk gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired warmth. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.

• Always check the milk for any off smells or unusual textures before consuming, especially after storing or freezing.

• Pour the milk into a small saucepan.

• Heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

• Once warmed to your desired temperature, pour into a mug and enjoy.

• Alternatively, pour the milk into a microwave-safe mug.
