Anyone ever heat up milk before drinking it? I just read a book that was written in the 1960's and they did that. Seemed kinda weird.

Nobody here drinks cold milk. Usually warm, with some honey or kaba in it. Or mixed with coffee.
Someone told me once that Europeans don't refrigerate any drinks.
In the book, they heated it on the stove before drinking it.
Hearing milk is a thing. My grandma would do it sometimes at night to make us sleepy. Maybe it's more of an older gen thing and less euro
What does it sound like?
Jk, I got it.
I like putting honey in it.
Haha, I usually reread my replies shortly after posting, and saw that, but gave you credit for making sense of it without a correction :)
Yeah, honey is good in it. If you heat it too much, it boils over and gets a little weird/ruined, but you gotta get it close to that point for optimal flavor
By cooking on stove? Cuz I just nuked a cup of milk and didn't like it. Also I keep imagining that's what baby cows experience, warm milk from the teet
Eww. Microwaved milk.
Yes on the stove lol. Right before it's about to boil and expand you cut the flame
And then it's all, frothy on the top.
Okay. I'm gonna try this. For science!
Tomorrow. Its late.
it's how espresso steamers work too, raise it to near boiling point really quickly by using steam and the protein congeals around the bubbles.
I like those machines. So sexy. So steampunk. I need one.
they aren't expensive. the pump that pushes the hot water through the coffee is more complicated. it's really easy to build one with an earlenmeyer, glass tube, stopper and a silicone hose. the vapor pressure of the steam does all the work
