Ramin asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Could you make orange flavored milk by mixing fresh orange juice with milk? If not, why not?

Great show, by the way! Thank you for it.
What do you think?

Well, this is an experiment that is easily done and non-hazardous!


Don't expect it to be very tasty though... The acid from the orange juice will quickly cause the milk to separate and curdle.

You might have more luck adding a few drops of orange flavoring (natural extract or synthetic), which contains limonene (one of the essential oils found in orange peel).

Visually appealing, I'm sure, but taste-wise, I'd predict grotesque!

[SquarishTriangle]

Hmm. I imagine this would taste a lot like vomit.

[Bored chemist]

I imagine it would taste like an orange milk shake.
