Grand idea for you, you can make from each bottle of red milk double, just dilute with equal amount of water :)

My milk buying guide:

Red = Milk
Blue = Diluted milk
Green = Diluted water

Surprised no one mentioned making rice pudding. Uses a ton of milk and it’s delicious.

Some other ideas:

Cream of corn soup
Homemade ice cream
Milkshakes - extra credit if you use homemade ice cream
Hot chocolate - heat up milk instead of water

My milk buying guide:

Red = Milk
Blue = Diluted milk
Green = Diluted water
We go by this:

Red: good for rich treats like coffee, homemade ice cream, and chocolate pudding
Blue: no purpose, mix red+green if you must
Green: best for drinking; thinnest consistency, so gets quite cold

It was tough convincing anyone here to use the endless blue milk even in cereal.  I have a young son that does NOT like water. "Milk or water" is 100% of the time answered with "milk," which usually means green around here.  Then again, over the summer he drank blue, and if we have red but are low on green, he'll get straight red.  I don't understand what purpose the "hating" on green serves.

Any good recipes?
Custard is complicated and not possible spur of the moment.  For simple vanilla ice cream: whisk a cup of whole milk with 2/3 cup sugar (adjust to your taste), with a pinch of salt if you'd like.  Add 2 cups heavy cream and 2-3 teaspoons vanilla.  Whisk, chill for an hour in fridge, then pour into ice cream maker for 15-20 minutes.  Best flavor addition: add a few (3?) tablespoons of seriously strong coffee (not instant, unless you actually like that flavor), use 3/4 cup sugar instead of 2/3.  Try making a milkshake out of that. Best coffee drink ever.

I grew up on green. It does not come into my house. We deal with blue when it's free, because it's passable in cereal. Rich treats like coffee, homemade ice cream, and chocolate pudding deserve heavy cream, and no less than half-and-half.

This is delicious. I use dark chocolate instead of white. (And when I'm lazy I just use milk and chocolate without any of the enhancements).

I sometimes use a tinfoil pan but you have to watch it closely because it'll burn or bubble over quickly.

Get that small pot I posted upthread. Not a pain, it's meant for this type of stuff.

I don't understand what purpose the "hating" on green serves.

Does hate ever serves a purpose? When you open the fridge and all the milk is gone, but there's a green bottle of fake milk, it gets you annoyed. Happens 100 more times and you start to develop a venomous anger towards all things green.

There's nothing worse than a green coffee (decaf) with green sweetener (stevia) and green milk (skim).

If you have heavy cream, add some to the green milk?
