How to Make Milk Lactose-Free

Before we dive into the coffee specials: here’s how to turn regular cow’s milk into lactose-free milk. All you need are a few drops of our Intoleran Lactase Drops.

• Add 5 drops per quart (about 1 liter) of milk.
• Shake the carton well or stir into a measured amount of milk.
• Place in the fridge for 24 hours. Done! During this time, the lactase has broken down all the lactose.

No patience to wait? Add 10 drops per cup (250 ml) of milk and it’s ready to use immediately.

👉 You can also make lactose-free whipping cream! Use 5 drops per cup (250 ml) of cream (wait 24 hours), or 20 drops per cup if you want to use it right away.
