Ice in milk?

[PrairieSong]

No, and I don't know anyone who does. I don't drink milk but for others in our family who do, it's cold enough from the fridge.

[Seasider]

It depends. To chase a cookie? No ice.

 

As a beverage with a sandwich at lunch? Ice.

 

I can't stand room temp milk. And I don't drink much at all anymore (thank you, allergies). When I drank it more frequently with ice, it was usually skim milk.

My mother used to put her glass of milk in the freezer for awhile to get it really cold, but no ice added.

ACK NO!!!

 

GACK!

 

PTHTHTHT

 

When I was growing up, my mom bought Sanalac Powdered Skim Milk, exclusively. I had a sibling who was part calf and drank something like a gallon a day. If she drank the last bit at night and my mom didn't know it, my mom would furiously shake up a new batch with the coldest water the tap could provide. She'd toss in a few ice cubes, and our breakfast of Special K was enhanced by the game, "Is this an ice cube, or chunk of lukewarm milk powder, and how can I avoid getting it on my spoon?" 

 

No! I implore you, by everything that is holy, don't put ice in your milk!

 

To this day I can't drink skim milk.

 

Or skim beer, even though they call it "lite." I know better. Fool me once...

no. Never heard of it , or serving milk at a meal unless to very small children

 

 

 We have a house cow, and she is dry atm. We find shop milk too watery as it is . (our house cow milk typically has 2-3 inches of cream on top)

 

We also don't serve milk with a meal. I was taught the whole don't drink much while eating as it dilutes the stomach acid thing. DH wasn't so everyone has a glass of water except me at meal times.

 

The twins however do have a cup of milk after their main meal, (not during).

I only add it to regular milk, and only because I like it icy cold. I usually drink it fast enough that the ice doesnt melt. Only for the cold factor. Would never add it to milk for someone else.

[HSmomof2]

I only have ice in an iced latte or other iced coffee drink. Ice in regular milk just doesn't sound appetizing. Although, if I actually tried it, I doubt it would taste bad.

I have put ice in my milk occasionally, usually to make it colder.  Growing up I know someone else did it but can't remember who.... grandparent maybe? I don't mind it but it's not my favorite.

This has been an interesting read!  Up until now I honestly didn't know anyone would add ice to milk on purpose.  (Up until now FIL never helped out much with meals when we've been around - he's 86 years old - men in his generation/culture just didn't help with things like that.  He's changed as MIL's abilities have decreased.)  

 

Perhaps it is what FIL grew up with and he's just pulling off memory.

 

I'll definitely chalk this up to my "learn something new everyday" bit.

 

Years ago I learned that some people add salt to watermelon via FIL... that one makes me gag too... but it's still good to know IMO.

[HRAAB]

No ice in milk. Yuck. I don't know anyone who puts I'd in their milk.

 

Milk is always an option with meals for the kids. Dh drinks milk occasionally with dinner and always has it with popcorn. I usually have water. I used to drink milk by the gallon. Loved it. I don't tolerate it very well anymore.

 

Another thing I can't stand - frozen milk. It just tastes weird.

[maize]

I had a toddler who went through a phase where he always wanted his milk mixed with water.

[laundrycrisis]

If there is going to be ice in the milk, it must have coffee added to it as well.  

[rebbyribs]

My mom did when we were kids.  She'd put out an after-school snack for us ahead of time, so it would be there when we got home from the school bus.  She would put ice in the cups of milk to keep the milk cool, but it often would've melted by the time we were to drink it, so there was a layer of water on top of the milk.  Not my favorite.   (And now, my mind kind of boggles that she trusted us to be home by ourselves just fine, but not to pour our own glasses of milk!)

My grandma used to salt her watermelon!

I know I've seen that one mentioned in a thread on here more than once (not necessarily its own thread), so it's not all that unusual, but it sure was for me - esp the first time I tasted it!   :ack2:

[Joyofsixreboot]

I've seen it done. I, however, find milk beyond disgusting so

I will not drink the milk with ice

You cannot make the milk taste nice

[laundrycrisis]

You can salt watermelon, cantaloupe and grapefruit...it isn't bad.

 

Lately there is salt on caramel and chocolate everywhere I look.

Yeah, I don't like it either.

Milk on the rocks is dh's favorite drink. I am not a milk drinker.

I don't/can't eat any of those foods when salt has been added.  I like them all without salt though.

 

In general, I prefer salty foods over sweet, so I've no idea where my tasting wires got crossed... somewhere I suppose.
