Hello friends, Heidi here from Rain Country. God is good all the time. In this video I’m sharing the practical, frugal way I freeze milk so I can stay stocked up without sacrificing the fresh-milk flavor. Yes, you can dehydrate milk (I’ve done it) and you can can milk (I personally haven’t), but both of those methods change the taste. Freezing is what I do when I want the milk to taste like milk—especially when I’m buying organic whole milk and I want to make it last until the next time I can get to Costco or place an order. I talk through what containers work best, what to watch for with expansion, and why I prefer cartons when I can get them (they’re easier to stack, thaw faster, and avoid freezing in plastic jugs). If you want to freeze in glass, I share the “trick” that kept my jars from cracking: use regular-mouth quart jars, don’t fill past where the jar narrows, and freeze with the lid set on loosely until it’s solid. I also cover thawing timelines and the biggest “gotcha” people run into: the fat separates after freezing and thawing. If you don’t shake it really well before pouring, you’ll get rich milk at first and then what feels like non-fat milk at the end. I also point you to my videos on dehydrating whole milk and using dairy powders for backup storage.
