How to Freeze Goat's Milk
Loading
You can freeze the milk for longer term storage.Taste tests show goat milk for drinking tastes best if consumed within the first week. After the first week it begins to acquire a "goaty" flavor which grows stronger as the milk ages.
If you want to store the milk for future use, it's easiest to pour the milk into heavy-duty freezer bags - or you can use plastic jars, leaving an air pocket for expansion. When you are ready to use the milk, thaw it in the refrigerator for a couple of days, or until the milk is thawed.
Opinions vary regarding the best uses for thawed milk. Some believe it tastes as good as fresh milk for drinking, only colder. Others believe it is fine for cooking, but you may want to mix it with fresh milk for drinking. Experience in the kitchen has shown that milk stored more than 30 days is not generally recommended for recipes like cajeta as it will not thicken properly.
Your own preferences will dictate your final decision, so play around with it a bit and keep these tips in mind if you want to alter the results.
