Milk doesn’t usually last very long, even when kept cold, but there is a simple way to always keep dairy on hand: use powdered milk, which can last up to 25 years.
While you can simply purchase powdered milk, there are a few ways to make it out of regular milk. You can put it inside an evaporator or dehydrator until it obtains a flaky texture, or you can blend or condense it until it becomes a fine powder and keep it in an air-sealed Mason jar.
11. Vinegar: Store it tightly.
Vinegar and honey might be polar opposites, as the old saying goes, but they have one thing in common: they can last indefinitely.
While the vinegar won’t stop being safe to eat, if you want the best quality, keep it in a tightly sealed container away from heat or light, and use it within 2 years of opening.
