Significado
Milk that has been heated.
Contexto cultural
The 'škraloup' (the skin that forms on heated milk) is a major cultural talking point. Most Czechs either love it or are deeply traumatized by it from school days. Warm milk is the base for 'Bílá káva' (White Coffee), a caffeine-free drink made from roasted chicory or barley, very popular among children and the elderly. A mixture of warm milk, honey, and a knob of butter is the standard 'first line of defense' against a sore throat in Czech households. Milk bars (Mléčné bary) were state-run establishments where warm milk drinks and dairy snacks were the primary focus, promoting healthy socialist living.
The Honey Rule
If you add honey to 'teplé mléko', wait until it's not boiling to preserve the honey's health benefits.
The Skin Factor
If you hate the skin (škraloup), stir the milk constantly while heating or use a whisk.

Baking Success
