How To Skim Fat From Whole Milk 12 Steps With Pictures

You can buy non-homogenized milk at many natural grocery stores or farmers markets.

You can purchase mason jars in bulk for a low price at most grocery stores. Use a clear container to make it easier to see the separation line between the milk and the fat.

Cold milk takes longer to separate, but leaving milk out at room temperature could cause it to spoil.

Once you identify the cream line, you’ll know how much cream to skim off the top.

Try putting skim milk into recipes as a healthier alternative to whole milk.

This method works best for raw milk that is warm and straight from the cow.

If you want to save your cream for a recipe, put it in an airtight container and save it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

This cream will be thicker than the cream you scooped off before you chilled your milk.
