Yep. I love it, but I don't drink it often. I only really
like to drink it with a traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon,
potatoes, etc. I especially like to pour a tall glass and
add a dash of salt and a hefty sprinkle of freshly ground
pepper and then stir it in. Yum.

You shouldn't have to toss it after one use even if you don't
drink it. It keeps a very long time - months! And there's lots
of things you can use it in. If you like scrambled eggs - I like
to use some buttermilk in with the eggs instead of milk or water.
Then you can make buttermilk biscuits, or buttermilk pancakes, or
lots of stuff.

Why not plan several things that use it when you want to make
something that calls for it. It is a shame to waste it.
