Baffled by the cream cap...

[crafty_packrat]

My brother, attempting to pour some milk out of the non-homogenized half-gallon I bought to make ice cream with, was stymied by the cream cap.

I didn't tell him he could poke through it with a knife, because he gave up in bafflement.

Fortunately, my mother showed up very shortly with a gallon of ordinary milk for my nephews to drink.

I've never seen non-homongenized milk in my life. Whipping cream, yes; half-and-half, yes, but never non-homongenized. And even then, it's no bigger than quart size.

It's also called cream-line milk. I can get it at the farmer's market, the co-op or Whole Foods.

Basically, it gives me a bit of extra cream when I make ice cream. But the cream will float to the top and clog the bottle opening if you don't pierce it and shake the bottle up before pouring for the first time.
