 Topic: freezing milk?

i know some people do, but is it okay, does it still taste the same when it defrosts, and wouldn' t it expand and break the bottle?? Just thought it would be a good idea so that I dont run out...(not talking breast milk either, just a standard two litre container)

It's ok, tastes the same, yes it expands so take about half a cup out and squeeze the bottle, make sure you defrost it in the fridge (will take overnight).

I only recently found out that people do this, and I just so happen to have had an extra 2L bottle I needed to store so I gave it a go. Have to say, I was worried when the milk turned yellow when it froze, but it went back to normal when defrosted and I didn't notice any difference in taste.
Another thing, make sure you are careful whereabouts in the freezer you store it. If you put it in one of those narrow door shelves it might not come out so easily..trust me hahaha

We always freeze milk coz its cheaper to grab a couple when doing the fortnightly shopping than having to pop to the dairy whenever we run out and pay more for it. Never noticed a difference in taste and we have frozen almost every kind you can think of.

We always freeze our milk - and must admit we dont take any out, the plastic bottle just expands!! Cant taste anything different, just takes a while to defrost, but easier to organise than a trip to the supermarket/dairy to get more milk!!

We freeze milk too... sometimes I forget it is there haha but Mum let me in on that secret.
99% of the time the milk is fine. But once I defrosted it in the fridge (on a paper towel) and went to use it and it was off. My guess it wasn't stored well at the supermarket or dairy before stored into their fridges.
The yellow colour threw me too, but as soon as it defrosts its white again. Magic!
