UHT milk

We use both.

We have fresh semi-skilled for tea, coffee, cereal and drinking - then use semi-skilled UHT for cooking, such as porridge, custard, baking etc.

Personally, I enjoy the taste of UHT in tea .. but then I'm considered weird because I also enjoy the taste of Evaporated milk in tea. Takes me back to when I was a kid in Germany (Dad was in the army) and that was all we could get!

The mix for my yoghurt maker is 1.5 pts of UHT milk, 2 tablespoons plain yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of milk powder. We actually make a little more mix than is needed because the resulting mix is so delicious :drool: It's a treat to drink. I'm sure if I added some vanilla and honey I'd have the same result as an M&S smoothie.

I'm a skimmed long-lifer!
I reckon just keep at it and after a short while it won't taste odd at all.
Mine doesn't!

AB. :-)

W have used Tesco value skimmed milk for years, I hate semi skimmed it tastes like water, but the UHT seems creamier somehow, something to do with the process it goes through. I only use milk on cereal as we both drink tea and coffee without milk or sugar.

it took me a while to get used to the taste of uht skimmed milk, but now i dislike anything else, just persevere with it, soon you'll forget what others taste like. even converted dd to it too.

thanks for all the replies... i usually drink skimmed milk fresh anyway so when i do have UHT (in my storecupboard for emergencies) i do use the "value" skimmed stuff which is the cheapest!

Guess it will be just retraining my tastebuds gradually!

Which will be helped i think if i keep telling myself my 1 pinter i buy is 70p a litre... and UHT is 35p. Thats half the price so

(70p - 35p = 35p) X 52 weeks = £18.20 a year saving = avg £1.52 a month saving

Even buying a 2 pinter (which i sometimes do) which is 57p a litre...

(57p = 35p = 22p) X 52 weeks = £11.44 a year saving = avg £0.95 a month saving


Thats enough saving every month for a treat of a choccy bar or 2 ! :rotfl:
