Milk is packed with calcium and protein and is also a necessary ingredient in many recipes. It’s something that you’ll want to have on hand in a survival situation. However, milk doesn’t keep long, especially if you don’t have any means to refrigerate it.
You definitely want to include milk in your emergency storage. Maybe you have a milk cow or goat that produces more milk than you can use before it goes bad. Since cows and goats both have drying out periods so you’ll want to preserve milk for then, too. But what can you do to make it last?
Today we’re going to talk about several methods of either preserving milk as-is or converting into other products that store for longer periods of time. Before we get started, we’d like to offer a few tips.
Before you start any preservation methods at all, pasteurize your milk. I know that many people prefer to drink their milk straight from the cow but the idea behind preservation is to keep bacteria from turning the milk bad. If you filter and pasteurize it, you’ll be starting with “clean” milk that will be more likely to keep longer. This is, of course, up to you but I advise it.
