taking milk to work

I used to use a baby's bottle0

I use an own brand powdered milk like coffee mate, it works fine in tea as well, you only need a tiny bit each time so it lasts for a good while. If you want to keep it to yourself just wash out a small jar that will fit in your desk so you can hide it away from stealers.0

I would use an empty Oasis bottle. Nice wide neck that can be washed out each evening.0

Freeze the milk in a small wide neck baby bottle.0

I use dried milk for drinks at work. People often express surprise when they get their cuppa and say that whenever they use it it doesn't dissolve properly and they get white lumps. The secret is to make it into a liquid before adding it to your tea. You can just dissolve enough for one cuppa at a time.0

Thanks all for the great suggestions. I am going to try a few and see which one works best for me.
I will try the dried milk first, do you think if I make up a cup full of milk in the morning (at work) it will keep ok during the day to use as and when needed. I like this idea as I am lazy and this method means no washing up0 -

Yes you can still buy the pots but you got 36 for £1 in £land no where else is anywhere near that price.
Plus taking my own milk is going to be cheaper still than buying individual pots.0 -
I just sprinkle a tiny amount in mine from a spoon (I like strong tea) I use T's own brand, it isn't lumpy at all, it's quite fine and dissolves completely as long as you sprinkle it in a little at a time and stir in rather than just plunging a big spoonful straight into your hot tea or coffee.Practice a bit at home first so you can see how much you need and if you like it. I do and I'm very fussy about my tea!0

Another one for Mr T's value powered.
Sprinkle on top of the tea & stir vigorously.0
