A milk-based marinade sounds a bit iffy, especially when that milk has expired, but it can add flavor and help the meat stay tender. There isn’t much science behind this trick. You just mix the milk with spices and throw in chunks of meat. Just remember to always keep the marinating meat in the fridge and not to use the same marinade twice.
7. Upgrade Your Hot Chocolate
Some people make hot chocolate with water, which is acceptable but not ideal. Hot chocolate made with milk is a completely different experience and a true indulgence. Heat some of the expired milk, add cocoa, sugar, and a pinch of salt for a sweet kick. If you’re the type of person who loves simplicity, use your favorite hot chocolate mix. Unfortunately, this little hack won’t help you utilize the whole carton unless you’re very thirsty or having a slumber party.
