I've tried it on and off but have trouble actually drinking a glass. Using it to make a rich hot chocolate works for me, but I can't drink a glass of plain, unflavored whole milk... just tastes gross, like I'm drinking some kind of butter-in-water mixture. Sort of how I like butter on toast, but not by itself on a spoon. (Warm whole milk, as is popular in some countries, is even worse.)

That's because milk _is_ tiny chunks of butter suspended in water. Agitating the milk causes the fat globules to collide and occasionally stick together.

Have you ever tried warm whole milk mixed with honey? That's my favorite drink for cold days.

Yes, this is good! Also try it with some cardamom and vanilla.

Hmm, this actually sounds promising. I do like hot chocolate made with whole milk, so other variations on the spiced-milk idea might work too.

Don't forget a little bit of salted butter in there, too!

Its about expectation. Pick up a glass of milk thinking its orange juice, drink it - it's gross! Then you look - oh, OJ, that's ok then.
