Pasteurized Milk

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sterilize bottles by placing them edgewise in cold water; bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes.

  2. Fill sterilized bottles halfway with milk and cork with baked cotton or sterilized rubber corks.

  3. Place bottles on a rest or several layers of paper in a pan.

  4. Fill the pan with cold water to the level of the milk in the bottles.

  5. Heat gradually to 160°F (70°C) until small bubbles appear in the milk.

  6. Maintain this temperature for 40 minutes.

  7. Cork the bottles quickly and store in a cold place. Do not remove corks until ready to use.
