Milk does not have a fixed boiling point because its composition can vary depending on factors such as fat content and impurities. However, the boiling point of fresh cow's milk is typically around 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), which is the standard boiling point of water. When milk is heated, it undergoes various physical and chemical changes, such as the denaturation of proteins and evaporation of water. It is important to note that milk can scorch or develop a skin if heated directly on high heat, so it is often recommended to heat it gently over low to medium heat to prevent these issues.
