Personally I found milk froze well. You just had to shake/stir it well
after it dethawed to get it to re-combine.

The ex used to freeze plastic bagged 2 % milk quite regularly when the
kids were young...our only real problem was the plastic bag leaking due
to small holes.

In fact she'd use the defrost cycle in the microwave with the plastic
milk sack in a plastic jug (in case of leaks) then pour it all together
into the jug and stir well to re-combine then put it in the fridge.

The kids and I never noticed a difference in flavour or texture.
