How do you drink your milk?
I'm not a huge milk drinker, but when I do, I'm picky about it.
It has to be 1%, organic and almost room temperature.
The whole ice cubes in milk thing just baffles me.
So how do you prefer to drink a glass of milk? If at all? What fat percentage, brand, temperature, method, etc?

I switched years ago from whole milk to 2%, but somehow haven't been able to take the next step down to 1%. As many others have said they do, I like it quite cold, straight from the fridge.
One thing I do insist on is that it's in cardboard, not plastic. I'm a bit surprised only one person has mentioned this so far. A friend, a chef with a more sensitive palate than mine, had me do a side-by-side comparison between the two (same brand, same expiration date) and I was just amazed at how much better it tasted coming from the carton- or rather, how much worse it tasted coming from the plastic jug. Ever since then, the flavor of plastic has been more noticeable and bothers me.
Some day soon I'll likely make the switch to organic, too. I have definitely noticed how much better organic butter tastes than the antibiotic-and-hormone-laced stuff.

eclecticsynergy, will try the paper carton comparison. Is a great idea. Will do some blind taste tests with family and friends. Do know plastic containers leach tolulene, BPA and other chemicals into food (and the US government FDA, Department of Agriculture, etc. is not protecting US citizens when payed off / influenced by the money of large companies). Not sure what chemicals plastic milk jugs leach into milk. Surprised you can taste the difference. Consumers vote with our dollars - it is our only say to change things.
When do consume milk I like it ice cold. Warm milk sucks to me. Milk in the freezer until there are ice chunks in it when shaken is perfect but hard to time. Milk in a cooler on ice is about perfect - at the temperature of an ice cold beer. In a pinch small amounts of milk drank fast over certain forms of ice cubes before watered down is a favorite thing to do (McDonald's has nice cubes, I think it is Safeway that sells ice with a hole in the middle which is another favorite, and at home put ice cubes in the fridge or even a cooler for 24 hours until there are little holes in it and can chew it into snow without hurting teeth - we call it "holey ice").
I do not drink as much milk these days (often use almond milk and other substitutes that know has no hormones added). Thank you Monsanto one more time for killing my desire for milk with the rBST thing in the mid-90s - Since then hearing about the Fox News couple being fired when broke the story rBST fortified milk increased breast cancer in women 7 times and prostate cancer in men 7 times I quickly change behavior to now consume a tiny fraction of the milk once did - and am probably better for it.
Whole milk has twice the fat as 2%. Like you I moved to 2%. While I also personally find going down to 1% is about half again less fat but find too much a taste difference for me as seems more watered down to my palate. Here is a comparison with more info written for babies: http://pediatrics.about.com/od/milk/i...
When helped out at a dairy for a few years. Learned do not like fresh milk from a cow - could get used to it, but never had enough to. Drinking non-pasteurized milk is scary even when I personally cleaned & milked the cow. Too much crap around the barns and on the back sides of cows.

Nothing like having a glass of milk after letting it sit in the freezer for 15 minutes. When I was younger, I would also stash a glass in the freezer, wait till the glass was cold and frosted over, then pour me a galss of milk. The colder the better.

To me milk is a moistening delivery system, to wit- allowing me to eat my morrning cereal quickly without choking, lubricating otherwise astringent coffees/teas, and turning hard rice into creamy pudding. In my world it's NOT to be drunk straight, ever- the thought of it makes me shudder!
Interestingly, many moons ago on my first trip to the US a friend convinced me to try milk, saying it didn't "taste like cow" like ours did in Canada. Darned if she wasn't right! it's that hint of something that makes me not like drinking it on its own here. I'll have to try milk again the next time i'm in the states just to see if i feel the same way :)›1 Reply -

I drink non fat skim milk that is cold right out of the fridge. I used to hate skim milk, but I got used to it and now it's as if I always drank it. I started drinking milk on a regular basis again after not having drank it much for years. To show you how misleading all those trendy health tips are. Years ago they said that adults really don't need to drink milk, which is not great advice because calcium runs the brain.

I like my milk very cold.
Sometimes with ice crystals about to freeze but still liquid.
Ice cream is also very nice.
Love milk converted to cheese but that is another thread. Even cottage cheese, hard cheese, swiss, etc is ...
Milk is half of great chowder: clam, smoked salmon, etc. And some cream soups like broccoli cheese (tasty with chicken).
Enjoy my milk over holey ice can chew into snow with the milk in my mouth (ice out of freezer for 12-24 hours in a cooler, or container in the refrigerator below freezing, ice that when melts gets holes in it all over).
Like 1%, 2%, whole most the rare times drink it instead of water, and once a year buy chocolate milk if crave. The milk I buy is ALWAYS from a non-added rBST local supplier. Sometimes add Hershey chocolate syrup or Nestle Quik powder, more than they say so more concentrated flavor, to milk to drink cold or over ice (keep mixing with spoon as drink to keep from flavor crystals settling to the bottom into a sludge). Also heat that same mixture and drink hot in the winter with peppermint schnapps (Rumplemintz has great flavor and a bit more alcohol so is preferred the few times drink on a special occasion).
Irish cream, like Baileys, is very tasty alone over ice. In coffee. And especially when layered neat with Kahlua and vodka in a shot glass in three equal layers. Drink all at once so mixes in your mouth. A great drink. Kahlua and cream for me over holey ice is also very nice (buy my two liters of Kahlua when leave the country if don't get Tequila otherwise make my own home make coffee liqueur at home).
Goats milk cheese especially Pecorino Romano is a favorite grated over, melted, alone, and in food. For those who have not had it is a hard cheese often stronger flavor than extra sharp cheddar so a little bit grated with food goes a long way.
Mostly drink milk alone over holey ice or have put in other things. Do keep my personal milk consumption under a gallon a week often under a half gallon. Sometimes zero as use almond milk instead at times. Even though like milk find my body doesn't have to always have this fat food with its byproducts to live and eat well with quality multivitamin with other quality supplements in attempt to give the body what it needs but does not produce.

I grew up drinking gallons of whole milk; loved the stuff. I also had cousins who had cows and there were always jars of milk in the fridge with the cream at the top.
Now I can't drink very much at all, due to lactose intolerance. I don't keep it in the house, but if I were to have some it would have to be skim milk over ice.
I LOVE chocolate milk over ice (especially crushed ice) but seldom have it, it is an indulgence.
I have had Broguiere's raw milk and it is delicious, but $$$$$$.
I can't drink whole milk or low fat because of the mouth feel.

Room temperature milk?!!
I had to provide my 2-cents here. I drink skim milk, ice cold from the fridge. If it sits out for a few minutes it's ruined. Skim is sooooo refreshing. I love it. My sister and I used to put ice cubes in our milk as kids but when my parents made the switch to skim we stopped doing that.
Oddly enough nobody at my office likes skim milk. They all cringe when I pour it into a glass so my milk is always safe. -

Since I started making kefir at home we always have whole organic milk (sometimes raw, sometimes pasturized, never ultra pasturized.) Sometimes I also buy organic 2% for drinking, sometimes not.
Whole milk in my coffee, kefir in the afternoon, sometimes a glass of milk with dinner but usually not. The two of us used to go through 2 gallons a week but that's a lot of calories so I cut back.

re: Tangerina
I'm lactose intolerant, so having a glass of milk is like indulging in drugs (I'm gonna pay for it later). Has to be organic (and not regular grocery brand organic) - Horizon - or local dairy (here in Colorado, Royal Crest is the bomb), and let sit on the counter for a little bit. I like it not so cold so I can actually taste it. I take a bit long, sip, feel it my my mouth, then swallow. And another, feeling the fat of the milk on my tongue. Yeah, it's a sensual thing for me, something I'm doing that's naughty.
(I won't do whole milk - makes me feel even worse twice as fast and anything less than 2% tastes like it has water in it.)

but the only "milk" i drink straight these days is homemade nut milk.

At this point... .. 1% organic but not grass-fed (not rich enough and a little bitter). Start with a large frozen glass. Must be "glass" and it better be large. Fill glass to 1/4 inch of the rim with cold milk. Set in freezer to chill for 10 mins. After about 8 minutes, prepare milks partner in crime. Take 1 or 2 "Rees's Peanut Butter Eggs" out of the fridge and place them on a small chilled plate and try not to eat before you take the milk out of the freezer and seated in an area appropriate for post-colloidal reclining Please note: Rees's Peanut Butter Eggs are available around Easter and Highly Addictive. They have a much greater peanut butter to chocolate ratio.

Cold 2% milk, but no ice! I don't order it in a restaurant, though, because they bring it with the rest of the beverages, and I prefer it with the meal. I cannot stand milk that has sat out a bit. For cereal, it's put on the cereal and right back into the fridge. I hate to see a milk carton left out for any length of time.
I had raw milk at my country cousin's house when little... yuck!
I do like a good almond steamer (made with milk), hot. Just not anything in between. -
Raw, pastured, non-homogenized, organic whole milk provided by Jersey cows. Cold from the fridge and shaken before pouring into the glass. With a meal, and on its own.

re: CanadaGirl
Yes, Jersey milk is higher in fat. It is also higher in protein, calcium, and vitamins A, B1 and B2. In nonhomoginized milk, the cream rises to the top, so you can simply remove it if you want a lower-fat option. There are some dairies, such as Promised Land, that sell pasteurized Jersey skim milk, although it isn't grass-fed.

re: John E.
"Unpasteurized milk is the cause of much illness and disease"
I definitely agree with your statement, John, in regard to milk from factory-farmed cows. I wouldn't touch raw milk from those dairies. Those cows are raised in filthy conditions that depend on pasteurization to "clean" the milk. And, in case you didn't know, pasteurization does not equal safe milk.
In 2007, three men died and one woman delivered a stillborn child in Massachusetts after drinking pasteurized milk from one dairy.
In 1987, sixteen-thousand (16,000) people in Georgia became ill after drinking pasteurized milk. from one dairy.
In 1985, one hundred ninety-seven thousand (197,000) people in California became ill after drinking pasteurized milk from one dairy.
According to the CDC, there have been no deaths caused by drinking raw milk.
I'm fortunate to live in an area that, within reasonable driving time, gives me options to see and know from where my food comes. I can meet with the farmer and his family. I can tour the farm and see the animals. I can inspect the operations and see the level of hygiene. And, most importantly, I know that the farmer is providing me with the same food with which he feeds his family.

re: John E.
Yes, some people get ill after drinking raw milk; however, after pasteurization, hundreds of thousands of people are still getting sick from drinking pasteurized milk and some have died from drinking pasteurized milk. These deaths occurred in 2007, not one-or-two hundred years ago.
Hygiene, herd health, and farm practices differ. With milk that is being produced for raw consumption, the farmer is more diligent in maintaining a sanitary operation and keeping his cows healthy through nutrition feed and humane living conditions. On the other hand, agribusiness dairies are less concerned with sanitary practices as the milk will be cleaned through pasteurization and the cows have been inoculated with hormones and antibiotics. It is cheaper to pasteurize contaminated milk than it is to raise healthy cows and produce clean milk from the start.
I am not saying that you should drink raw milk; I am saying that I have chosen to drink raw milk. I like the flavor, I like the nutritional benefits, and I trust the farmer. I am not “romanticizing the good old days” when cows were confined in manure-filled pens built adjacent to distilleries and were fed the wet slop left after distillation. I researched the dairy industry (some of which brought to mind Upton Sinclair) and the dairy farm from which I purchase my milk. I read the regulations and testings that the state requires for the sale of raw milk and I found that the dairy farm exceeded what was required. The more I read the more certain I became of my decision.
So, yes, some people will become ill from drinking raw milk, but some people will also become ill from drinking pasteurized milk. Pasteurization is not foolproof; it does not sanitize the milk.

On a percentage basis the numbers of people that contract illness and disease from pasteurized milk is tiny. On any basis the number of people that contract illness and disease from unpasteurized milk is high. I never mentioned anything about "romanticizing" unpasteurized milk. Of course you can make the risky decision to consume unpasteurized milk. I hope you do priovide unpasteurized milk to any minors.
-
re: John E.
I do not consider it risky to drink raw milk. After considerable research, in my opinion, the risk, for myself, lies in continuing to consume milk and milk products produced by agribusiness. I do not need growth hormones in my food, nor chemicals nor unnecessary antibiotics. Do we need eight-year-old girls with breasts, or 10-year-old girls giving birth or people dying because of antibiotic resistance?
Pasteurization is the easiest and cheapest way for agribusiness to produce milk. Agribusiness is not farming, it is a business, and the foremost objective of business is profit – produce a product for the least amount of money and sell it for the greatest profit. As long as profits outweigh penalties, and/or public opinion demands change (“pink slime”) it will be business as usual.
Disregarding the differences in quality and nutrition, milk is sterile in the udder. The handling milk receives once it is expressed determines whether it becomes contaminated or not. People become ill from drinking milk, whether it is raw or pasteurized, if the milk is not properly handled. In 2007, three people died and one woman miscarried because of the contaminated, pasteurized milk that they had consumed.
It is contaminated food that makes people ill, not raw milk. Do you eat ground turkey, spinach, eggs, luncheon meat, cantaloupe, peanut butter? If you do, I hope that you do not provide these foods to minors. Not only is there the risk that these items can make you sick, there is also the risk that they can kill you.

I did not read your entire post. I did read the first line. You are wrong, but that's ok. If unpasteurized milk is so great then why is so much milk pasteurized? There is much more risk of disease from unpasteurized milk than most commonly consumed foods.
-
re: John E.
Do you eat cantaloupe? 29 peopled died from eating cantaloupe in 2010.
Do you eat ground turkey? 1 person died and at least 111 got sick in 2011 from eating ground turkey.
Do you eat eggs? 1,600 people became ill in 2010 which prompted a recall of a half billion eggs (yes, that is billion with a “b”)
Do you eat celery? 4 people died from eating celery in 2010.
Do you eat jalepeno or serrano peppers? In 2008, over 1,400 people became ill, 300 people were hospitalized, and 2 people died from eating these peppers.
Do you eat peanut butter? Between September 2008 and April 2009, nine peopled died from eating peanut butter.
Do you eat spinach? In 2006, 5 people died from eating spinach.
Do you eat deli meat? In 2002, eight people died from eating deli meat and it caused a miscarriage in at least one woman. She was a coworker of mine. 30-million pounds of meat were recalled.
Do you drink pasteurized milk? In 2007, 3 people died and one woman miscarried from drinking pasteurized milk.These are all commonly consumed foods, right? These foods were all contaminated either at their source or during production. Do you still think that there is little or no risk?
People become ill everyday from eating contaminated foods. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 48 million foodborne illness cases occur in the United States every year. At least 128,000 Americans are hospitalized, and 3,000 die after eating contaminated food. Have you ever had “stomach flu”? More than likely you ate something that was contaminated.
The Industrial Revolution not only brought people to the cities, it also brought cows. Milk was originally pasteurized because of the filthy environment in which the cows were sheltered and because of the trash that they were fed (wet slop from distilled liquor). Hygiene and sanitation were not practiced and refrigeration was not common. It was the only way to clean the milk. Milk is still pasteurized, today, basically, because it’s cheaper to clean the milk than it is to provide a sanitary and hygienic environment and top quality nutritious food. And because the government says so. Just like hydrogenated margarine and food dye #4 were healthy and safe.
I researched and chose raw milk for myself. I have gotten to know my farmer and his family. I see the animals and the farm. I see where the cows are milked and where the milk is held. I eat the same food that my farmer that my farmer feeds his family. I trust him. Can you say that about your food?

My mom tortured me in a similar way, only she insisted on this practice until I was about 16. I had to put my tupperware cup of milk, all 16 ounces of it, in the freezer to diminish the taste, then I'd stand there in front of the freezer and drink that cup as quickly as I could.
Today I only drink it in coffee, tea, and occasionally in cereal, just enough to get it wet.

While I like all fat levels of milk, cold skim is my go to. I buy organic Nature's Promise. If I need it colder I will add exactly one ice cube. I do not like the taste if some organic milk like Stoneyfield and some store brand. I learned to put up with Wegmans but prefer my Giant brand.
Milk is for snack, dessert and most meals. I don't drink milk with Asian food unless I need to tone down spicy hot food. After one glass of milk I generally switch to water, no need to switch or rinse glass, I don't mind the water a tad cloudy.

I am a certified milk lover. I have never tried organic milk. Now you post has made me wonder why not...it's going on the shopping list.
I'd prefer to drink whole milk, but the calories are just too many. I'll drink milk for lunch and dinner. So I buy 2% milk. If I keep it as cold as I like it, everything else in the refrigerator freezes, so I have to add ice cubes to get it cold enough.
It sounds crazy, and maybe it is, but I know the exact COUNT of how many cubes I like in each type of glass I own. My 20 ounce glass gets 7 cubes, my Waterford double old fashioned gets five. And I'll never use a straw, because the coldest milk is on the top of the glass, and that's what I want to drink first! (You'll recognize me by my milk mustache!)
