When you find yourself with an excess of milk in the refrigerator, you don't have to let it go to waste. Freeze your milk in glass bottles with secure lids. Generally, milk is safe to freeze for up to three months. Upon removing it from the freezer, be sure to follow the recommended guidelines for thawing to ensure it will retain as much quality as possible.
Wash the glass bottles to ensure they are clean. Rinse the bottles and place them on the counter for filling.
Pour the milk into the glass bottles. Stop filling the bottles when they are about 90 percent full. You must leave 10 percent of the bottle empty to allow the milk to expand during the freezing process. Err on the side of caution and fill the glass bottles a little less than 90 percent full just to make sure you do not make a mess in the freezer.
Screw the caps onto the glass bottles tightly.
