Portioned milk for hot drinks

Long Life Individual Milk Portions

Keep tea and coffee areas ready for staff, guests and visitors with individually portioned long life milk. This range includes UHT milk pots, traditional milk jiggers, slim milk sticks and plant-based oat milk portions from Lakeland Dairies and Oatly. Choose semi-skimmed dairy milk for everyday hot drinks service, or add oat options for people who prefer a plant-based alternative.

These sealed portions are easy to put out on office tea points, meeting room trays, hotel bedrooms, breakfast areas and catered events. They are especially handy where fridge space is limited, fresh milk can lead to unused leftovers, or teams need a straightforward way to replenish shared drinks supplies.
