Parmesan milk


Parmesan milk
Parmesan milk is a great way to use up Parmesan crumbles you didn't know what to do with: you infuse the crumbles with a few herbs in milk, giving it a delicious taste.

It can then be used in all kinds of savoury recipes where milk is used: gratins, béchamel, etc.

Remarks
The quantity of Parmesan crumbles for 1 liter of milk is very indicative, so use what you have on hand, but of course the more crumbles there are, the more pronounced the taste of the milk.

Crusts can be quite old, even several weeks old, without any problem.

As for the herbs, use what you have on hand.
Keeping: A few days in the fridge in a sealed bottle, can be frozen.
