Fun things to do with milk: Drink it. Drink it? Drink it!

We have ten 1L cartons of milk that are best before January 8, 2008 (plus one more of the same, still unopened, in the refrigerator). That gives us a bit more than a carton of milk to consume a day. I need ideas.

I've done the first three. Anyone have any suggestions for what we can do with the rest?

(This is why I shouldn't delete icons. I had one perfect for this post from Kawaii Not -- "I can't tell if I'm milk that's gone bad D: or yoghurt that $something :D" -- but I deleted it a few weeks ago)

Update
Aha! Thanks to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] chasethestars, I have the icon I needed. Also, I've begun adding your suggestions to the entry, and I'm bolding the stuff that I've done.

That looks like the same one, except I think we always just used regular salt, and I could never decide whether it was really necessary. :-)

I think any kind of salt is okay (but it seems a waste to use regular/fine salt or iodized salt because it's been processed more). Sugar should work as well, I think? The key is to lower the freezing point of water so that the ice will melt more quickly. Without the salt, the ice cream making process probably would not work.

I did try it earlier! It seemed to work okay but I guess I didn't shake it hard/long enough because there were lumps, but it was still mostly liquid by the time I got bored and decided to eat it *g*
