    Not necessarily, but milk should be stored in the fridge in a sealed container. Do not leave milk at room temperature for two hours or more.
  • Question
    How should your store in milk cardboard cartons without a cap?
    Community Answer
    Do not store without a cover of some sort, as it can allow contaminants an easy way into your milk. Keeping the cap on will help to keep your milk uncontaminated. If you don't have a cap for some reason, cover with kitchen plastic wrap and wrap a rubber band around it to keep in place, to provide a barrier between the milk and bacteria that might get into it.

    Simply pour it into the bottle. There is no need to heat it first (unless you are a dairy farmer and have not yet pasteurized the milk).
