When it starts to sour, it means that beneficial bacteria called probiotics have started to use up the lactose (milk-sugar). This is what causes the milk to no longer taste sweet.

Frozen milk will often become separated and the texture may become somewhat grainy, but it will remain safe to consume. If you’re using the milk for cooking, giving it a vigorous shake or stir will usually solve the separation problem nicely. Be sure to leave some space for expansion!! Thaw the milk in your refrigerator and plan to use it within two or three days. If in doubt, do a trial run first, freeze a small amount, thaw it and see how you like the outcome.
