You know that rich, sugary, sickly-looking kaleidoscope of coloured milk at the bottom of your cereal bowl? You may not remember because you last ate Frosted Chocolate-Covered Sugar Bombs when you were 12.; but it's delicious. Some might say this sugary slurry is the best part of the cereal experience, I would agree.

As it happens  this magic milk is pretty tasty outside of that early morning sugar rush. We're going to make scientifically-created, sifted, and strained cereal milk, and then use that milk to make scrumptious ice cream!

Ready to give your taste buds a new experience? Enough talk, let's make some cereal milk!

Making cereal milk isn't hard, in fact you're probably made it a bunch of times already! Here's the basics:

Tools:
  • large bowl
  • spoon
  • strainer
  • funnel
  • refrigerator                     
Materials:
  • cereal
  • milk


.
Pretty simple, right? You can make all kinds of tasty desserts with cereal milk, but I chose to make ice cream. To make your own you'll also need an ice cream maker, they are fairly inexpensive

I chose sweet cereals as they impart the most flavour in the milk, for my experiments I used Loopy Fruits, Cocoa Bits, Captain Peanut Butter Crunch, and Toasty Cinnamon Crunch cereals. Any variety, brand or  type of sugary cereal will work.

I can only imagine how wonderful this would be after using Lucky Charms (or similar) cereals. Also, using the bottom of the bag of cereal, when all the dust of the cereal has settled, would make a super concentrated flavor, I imagine.

Honey Nut Cheerios flavor. I couldn't be bothered with an ice cream machine, mostly because I don't have one, so I made baggie ice cream. Served with a clear plastic spoon, because I'm classy like that.

This sounds really good, I wish I had a icecream maker.

You don't need it, just make baggie ice cream. Toss the ingredients into a zip-top bag and seal then fill another, preferably larger, one with crushed ice and some salt. Toss the sealed one with milk into the one with ice and seal. Massage it for about 5 minutes or until your hands get too cold and you'll have yourself some baggie ice cream.

Ha ha nice. The third image in the first step's more exciting IMO than the first one, it doesn't look like much as a thumbnail.

Don't think I'll be doing this with my cereal milk though, I eat Wheatabix :D

Wow, I just Googled that stuff and it looks like a McDonald's hash brown.

Ha ha, yeh it does a bit, minus the grease/potato.Tastes a bit like shredded wheat.

My first thought was "awww, this is amazing" but it was quickly followed by "ewww" because I was thinking of all the spit that would be in it from putting the spoon in your mouth then back in the cereal. As I read through I saw that you used a strainer to avoid this and I was back to my initial thought of it being very awesome.
