They say you shouldn’t cry over spoiled milk, but there are times when you shouldn’t throw it away either. There are many different ways to put expired milk to some good use, and here are the best things you could do instead of pouring it down the drain.
Make Some Cheese
If it’s only been a day or two since your milk has expired, it can be used to make perfectly good cheese. This dairy product is made by curdling milk anyway, so you can easily use your sour milk to try making some DIY cottage cheese or farmer’s cheese.
Baking and Cooking
If you’re a baking enthusiast who tends to throw away milk one day after its expiration date, using it to bake cookies and pancakes is totally fine. If the milk looks and smells normal, you can use it for baking, making salad dressings, and thickening your stews and soups.
Outside of the Kitchen
If consuming spoiled milk is out of the question, there are some things you can do instead of throwing it away. Milk is a great source of calcium, so you can use it to water your plants to help them grow faster and stronger. Making DIY face masks that will give your skin a healthy boost is also an option.
