Milk Curdling In Summer? Try These Simple Kitchen Hacks That Work Fast

We all know how food spoils quickly in the summer. Morning's curry can go bad by evening. And milk? That's a whole other story. The heat makes bacteria grow super fast, spoiling the milk. But don't worry, some old-school tricks can keep your milk fresh even in this heat. Let's check them out.

If the heat is curdling your milk, just add a tiny pinch of baking soda while boiling it. Baking soda balances the milk's pH level, stopping it from spoiling. Remember, just a pinch! Also, always wash the boiling pot with cold water first and leave a little water at the bottom. This simple step also helps keep the milk fresh for longer.

Here's another trick: add one or two green cardamoms while boiling milk. It not only makes the milk taste better but also helps it last longer. Boiling time is also key. In summer, you should boil the milk every 8 hours. And always let it cool down to room temperature before putting it in the fridge. Placing hot milk directly in the fridge can make it spoil faster.
