1. Cooking:milk softens and gives flavor

In the kitchen, we regularly use milk, mainly for cakes or other desserts. Who doesn't love a delicious homemade rice pudding?

Where we think less of using it is to simply make food taste better.

For example, I thaw my fish, seafood and frog legs slowly in milk.

This has the second effect of tenderizing the flesh of these foods. It's delicious:try it, you'll love it when you see the result.

2. Health:milk avoids cramps and aches.

I slip in each dance session for my daughter and basketball for my son, a small brick of flavored milk in their sports bag. They rush to it as soon as they finish their training.

Why ? Not only because they are hungry and thirsty, and they love this flavored milk, but also because it saves them many cramps or body aches.

3. Beauty:the milk removes make-up and cleanses the skin

Tested, approved, adopted, I can't live without it. The milk is so natural and so much cheaper than many beauty products that I use it every night to remove makeup and cleanse the skin on my face.

This method is economically very interesting since, since then, I don't even put on night cream before going to bed. An easy 2-in-1 gesture, right?

4. Hygiene:milk as a super stain remover for hands

When you have gardened, for example, you end up with very dirty, stained and rather rough hands.

Laura regularly advises you to use oatmeal in her beauty posts, especially in this bath trick for dry skin.

Well when my hands are very dirty from a gardening session, I form a paste with oatmeal and milk.

I rub them vigorously and then rinse them with clear water. I can assure you that afterwards my hands are as beautiful and soft as possible.

5. Laundry:milk as a natural stain remover

Fruit, fruit juice or ink stains on your clothes? No need to go out and buy overpriced stain removers.

Soak the stained garment in milk, preferably warm or hot. The stains will disappear, without risk to your clothes.

How to do ? I explained everything to you in this tip.

6. Home care:milk as an interior deodorizer

Bad smells in the house? There is an almost free method to remedy this:cups filled with milk to disperse around the house.

It was Nicolas who explained this great trick to us, which you can read again by following this link.

7. Restoration of old objects:milk as a porcelain repairer

Recently I wanted to restore a small porcelain tea service, which I had received from my grandmother.

Not knowing how to do it, I looked for methods in the forums. And I came across a very interesting testimony. I immediately tried it, and the result blew me away.

Here's what it consists of:I placed each element of my service in a saucepan full of milk, which I brought to a boil.

When the liquid started to boil, I let it simmer for at least 45 minutes over low heat.

When the tea set came out of its milk bath, it had rejuvenated. Indeed, the milk protein had magically repaired many of its cracks.
