Burnt milk uses

Question

Though infrequently, when boiling milk, it gets burnt if you forget about the milk on stove.
I usually boil 2-3L of milk in one big pan on stove/induction.
When it gets burnt, it develops a peculiar smell and taste and in our house nobody can bear it.
Even if I make curd or cottage cheese from that milk, they all have that burnt flavour.
Hence I have to throw that whole quantity of milk.
Hence, is there anyway of removing that bad burnt flavour or else, utilising that flavoured milk into something which can be consumed by us?

There are certainly culinary uses for burnt milk. You could make burnt milk ice cream, or burnt milk pudding. The second link is from the NYTimes, in case it is paywall protected, here is another example. It might be worth an experiment to see if it is to your liking.

I'm sorry, but there are no good news here.
First, you cannot remove the flavor. Whatever you do, the flavor stays there. (This question goes into more detail about why you can't remove flavors).
Second, there are no culinary uses for it. Of course you can do stuff with it - turn it into yogurt, cheese, etc. But see point one: the flavor will still be there. So you will hate whatever you make out of it for the same reason you hated the milk in the first place.

It's impossible to remove the flavour of burned milk once it's reached that point. That being said, even though it's not edible you could probably try to salvage it into some sort of a like beauty thing or an art project with some flour.
And if all else fails, you could probably reuse it as fertilizer in your garden rather than pouring it away into the sink.
