Milk plays an important role in my everyday life. It is a part of my family’s everyday meal. Here are my few beautiful real moments with milk.

At our home, we start our day early with a cup of hot coffee with milk. Though we have lots of work to do in the morning like getting ready to work, pack lunch, and getting my son to school. Me and my husband enjoy our coffee time 5 – 10 mins in the morning peacefully. It just boosts our energy and makes us feel fresh in the morning. It is our favorite part in the early morning. It’s been 10 years now we are together and we never missed our early morning coffee time.

We love coffee with milk compared to the plain coffee. Because milk adds nutritional value like Calcium and Vitamin D compare to the plain coffee.

During the festival season or any special occasions, we make a vermicelli milk pudding (payasam) at home. From kids to everyone enjoys the milk pudding. It tastes so creamy and delicious. In our tradition, there is no wedding meal without a vermicelli milk pudding. The wedding meal starts with an appetizer and end with the milk pudding as a dessert.

My son Aldrich loves milkshakes and he drinks a milkshake for an after-school snack. It provides Calcium, Vitamin D and Potassium needed to the growing kids for strong bones and teeth. What else a mom needs, milk blended with fruits or dry fruits for a healthy and easy snack for the little one?! Sometimes he carries the store bought chocolate milk with him for an after-school program. Milk has the nutrition that’s hard to find in other foods and beverages.

I born and brought up in a community where people makes varieties of sweet using the milk. During my childhood, mom used to make lots of milk sweets like Carrot Kheer, Basundi (Condensed milk flavored with dry fruits and cardamom), Kalakand (milk cake) during the festival season. There are no special occasions without milk sweets.

Next, here comes the summer holidays, mango kulfi (mango ice cream) is the must delicacy at our home. We enjoy mango kulfi all through the summer. After spending lots of time outside in the hot summer we love to enjoy the chilled and delicious mango kulfi.

Finally, one such beautiful memory with milk is my mom serves us the saffron, dry fruits and cardamom infused milk every night during winter before bedtime that helps to keep our system warm. Watching our family’s favorite show on the TV and sipping a cup of warm saffron milk in the cold winter night is bliss.

Milk is default in my grocery list and I stock up 2 large cans of milk regularly in my fridge. Real dairy milk is wholesome, simple and affordable. I make cottage cheese (paneer) and yogurt at home regularly for our everyday use. Homemade yogurt and cottage cheese tastes so fresh and delicious.
