Warm the milk either in a microwave safe bowl for 30-40 seconds or in a saucepan over medium heat until warm but not hot (make sure the mixture is not over 110F - the butter does not need to be melted all the way).
If the mixture is too hot, let it cool down before adding it to the yeast to prevent killing the yeast.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
