How to Get the Fat Out of Milk at Home (7 Steps)
Whole milk contains 3.5 percent milk fat, so while it has a rich buttery taste, it may also add more calories to your diet than you want. While skim milk is available at grocery stores, making your own low-fat milk at home is another option. Remove the fat from whole milk and use the healthier milk in baking or drink it as you would normally.
