Keep a small amount of (shelf stable) powdered milk in case this happens and the alternative is water only.
Alternatively milk in Tetra-Paks can be UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) sterilized and doesn’t require refrigeration until opened. Common in Africa.
Powdered milk is also good for baking! I have a few recipes that need it, but it’s also nice in case the wet milk has gone bad!
I used to just use water.
When in basic they’d give us a little carton of cereal and some milk, but I’m very lactose intolerant.
So instead I sucked a couple mouthfuls of water from my camelbak and spit it into the bowl and eat the cereal that way.
I also do this when I am out of oat milk and my wife and everyone I have told this to is horrified! There is for sure a taste difference, but I don’t think it’s noticeable
Last of the cereal. Last of the milk. Pour onto cereal. Milks gone bad. Can’t even eat the cereal dry cause I poured the milk already. Still have the habit of smelling the milk before pouring
I like dry cereal…
Unless it’s shredded wheat which is basically inedible without milk, most cereal is fine without milk
That’s why I do oatmeal then you don’t have to worry about that milk nonsense
I buy boxes of 9 cartons (1 litre each) of barista oat milk that don’t need to be stored in the fridge until opened, I only use it for cereal and some cooking (not often though) so it lasts a good while. Very cheap too, ~$10 for the whole box.
Add milk first and you wo8have a bowl of dry cereal.
Just a crime against humanity
