Try these 3 viral TikTok milk recipes for World Milk Day

Happy World Milk Day (1 June)! From decadent milk toast to making your own mozzarella cheese (from scratch) – whip up a frenzy in the kitchen and try out these weird and wonderful viral TikTok milk recipes.

Milk toast

Move over French toast, there’s a new (and delicious) breakfast in town! Milk toast took #FoodTok by storm, and we can see (and taste, and smell) why. Start by melting butter in a pan on medium heat. Then, add your slices of bread and pour over milk. Toast both sides of the bread – the milk will evaporate, leaving you with golden milk toast to which you can add fruit and a drizzle of honey, maple syrup or condensed milk. Yum!

Homemade mozzarella cheese

Who knew you can make fresh mozzarella at home with only two ingredients? And it all comes together in about an hour. We’ll take you through it: In a big pot, warm up 2 litres of milk and add 7 tablespoons of white vinegar (or any other citric acid), then wait until it separates into cheese curd and liquid whey. Collect the curd, strain it and stretch it until you get smooth balls of mozzarella! The perfect pizza and lasagna topping.

Red wine milk

As with a lot of TikTok recipes, it’s difficult to tell where this viral drink started, but it sure grabbed attention. All you need to do is mix red wine and milk, and voila! – a delicious milky cocktail is born. “At first, this might seem like an absurd combination, but it actually makes a lot of sense from a structural perspective. Red wine contains acidity, some sweetness, tannins and aromatics. Condensed milk supplies sweetness, which can balance out the acidity in the wine, and fats which can buffer any harshness from the tannins, especially if you’re using a not-so-great wine,” says Drink What You Want: The Deck creator John deBary.
