Equipment

  • Milk jug, mason jars or ice cube trays

Ingredients

  • milk
  • freezer-safe-containers, ice-cube trays or freezer bags

Instructions

  • Place the milk in freezer-safe containers, the plastic jug it came in, jars, ice-cube trays or freezer bags.
  • If necessary leave one inch of headspace in containers to allow for expansion in the freezer.
  • Place lid on container and make sure it has an air-tight fit. Label container with date. Place in freezer and freeze.
  • When ready to use place in refrigerator and let it thaw slowly for 24 hours up to several days if necessary.

Notes

Best to thaw and use frozen milk within 3-4 months for best results, but can be frozen longer and still used safely. 
Heavy cream or half-n-half does not freeze well and will separate after thawing.
