Keep Milk Fresh Without a Fridge This Summer: 7 Easy Tips

• Boil milk thoroughly on high heat, then simmer for 2-3 minutes to kill harmful bacteria.
• Cool boiled milk covered, avoiding open air exposure to prevent bacteria from reactivating.
• Store milk in earthen pots for natural cooling or copper vessels for anti-bacterial properties; avoid plastic containers.
• In very high temperatures, boil milk twice daily (morning and evening) to keep it fresh for up to 24 hours.
• Add a small silver bowl/spoon or 1-2 green cardamoms while boiling to prevent spoilage and control odor.
• Place the milk vessel in a larger tub of cold water, changing the water 2-3 times a day to maintain coolness.
• If milk starts to sour, immediately use it to make curd, buttermilk, or paneer to prevent wastage.
