Tezzbuzz Desk- The extreme heat has a severe impact not only on humans but also on food items. Especially milk is one of the most perishable things in summer. Many times, milk boiled in the morning starts turning sour within a few hours or curdles when heated again. In such a situation, if you are also troubled by this problem, then an easy trick can help in keeping the milk fresh for a long time.
Bacteria grow very fast in extreme heat and 45-50 degree temperature. This is the reason why milk quickly turns sour and starts curdling. If milk is kept outside for a long time after boiling, the chances of it getting spoiled further increases.
If you want milk to remain fresh for a longer time, then do not keep it in the kitchen for too long after boiling. Cool the milk a little and immediately keep it in the refrigerator. This slows down the growth of bacteria and the milk does not spoil quickly. If you want to cool the milk quickly, you can keep its vessel in a big vessel containing cold water. After this store it in the refrigerator.
If milk curdles frequently, you can add a pinch of baking soda while boiling it. This helps in balancing the increasing sourness of milk, due to which the milk can remain fresh for a long time. However, keep in mind not to add too much baking soda, otherwise the taste may change.
Many people heat milk repeatedly throughout the day. Due to this, the texture of milk starts changing and the chances of it curdling increases. It would be better to take out as much milk as required and heat it.
According to experts, milk should always be boiled on low or medium flame. Sudden heating on high flame can affect the milk proteins and cause the milk to curdle.
