    Hi all,

    So, i live in the United States' West Coast. And i buy milk from Safeway in their gallon cans. Its both pasteurized and homogenized. So, my question for you members is, do you boil the milk like our mothers and others do back in India? Or do you use it directly from the fridge. I mostly use this milk for tea, coffee or to eat cereal.

    Would appreciate your replies.

    No, you just use it straight. The one we get from India is not pasteurized so had to boil it first to kill the bacteria.

    No need to boil unless you are buying raw milk which is illegal in many places.

    I drink milk from the carton without boiling it first.

    Milk sold here is pasteurized so no need to boil it before consuming. Keep in the refrigerator as soon as you get home. Don't leave the milk outside for long.
