Try this...

[Johnniem]

When we have tea (a cup thereof) we use the normal semi skimmed or full fat milk but for coffee we have now gone completely over to the full fat long life milk. It is perfect and it feels like one is on holiday in Europe! Try it, you'll never look back. Also, you can stock up with cartons and not worry about running out.

Anyone else do this or is this no surprise because everyone is doing it already?

Warning....never use this milk in tea, it's not right!

Black, no shugs for me.

If I do have milk and sugar, it's invariably because I'm hungover/still gazeboed.

I use long life UHT skimmed milk for pretty much everything.

I don't drink coffee, and rarely drink tea, so I wouldn't normally have fresh milk in the fridge (although I sometimes buy fresh semi-skimmed to drink on it's own if I'm in the mood). The UHT stuff is very convenient... I buy the Candia 4-pack (4x 500ml plastic bottles) and keep it in the fridge as it's definitely better when cold.

You do get used to the UHT stuff pretty quickly, but at first it does seem kinda watery, particularly on breakfast cereals.

No fully skimmed anything for me! Full fat UHT for coffee and semi skimmed pasteurised for anything else. Actually, full fat UHT on breakfast cereals isn't bad actually.

Always have my coffee with full-fat fresh milk.

Are you saying long life milk tastes better than fresh (with coffee)? Or have i mis-read it?

UHT milk tastes like wasp piss.

It's rank.

Well, i only tried it a few times (mainly with cereal) as it was cheaper.

Not to my taste, like fresh better.

Any coffee breath

EFA.


Early grey or jasmine for me, no milk, no sugar. When I have coffee, plenty of sugar and whatever milk is around.

It is definitely creamier and IMO tastes better than 'normal' milk. I think the niceness of it stems from good memories of the end-of-meal coffees that one is served in mediterranean countries (which don't do 'normal' milk).

[soad]

Okay, will have a go then!

Pretty sure had some in the past, def. creamier - i agree with that

Agreed!!! Semen of statan.

Nothing but fresh whole milk.

[smack]

It is surprising in the amount of first world countries these days that UHT is the norm rather than fresh milk.

I grew up drinking milk as a kid, and these days still enjoy a glass of icy cold full fat milk

[bazking69]

UHT skimmed all the way. I buy it by the case.

[Plotloss]

UHT Milk?

What?
