From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Milk is a creamy white emulsion produced from the mammary glands of several mammalian species, including the Earth cow and the Klingon targ. (TNG: "In Theory") Containing rather significant amounts of nutrients such as proteins, saturated fats, calcium and most notably Vitamin D, it is often consumed on Earth as a beverage. Milk can also be processed into dairy products such as cheese, yogurt and ice cream as well as incorporated into various kinds of dishes.
Widin Dairy Farm delivered milk via a horse-drawn cart to the inhabitants of New York City in 1930. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
2% milk was one of several beverages offered in the drink dispensers in the mess halls of NX class starships. (ENT: "Terra Prime")
Lieutenant Kevin Riley drank milk while on duty in the engineering section of the USS Enterprise before it was poisoned by Lenore Karidian in 2266. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")
When milk is heated, the amino acid in the lactose it contains is activated, acting as a natural sedative, helping one sleep. Warm milk was Lt. Reginald Barclay's drink of choice on the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Hollow Pursuits") Captain Picard's aunt Adele had a recipe for steamed hot milk toddy with nutmeg, which Picard shared with Doctor Crusher. (TNG: "Cause and Effect") On two separate occasions, Dr. Crusher prescribed a glass of warm milk toddy to Commander William T. Riker (TNG: "Schisms") and Jean-Luc Picard (with a dash of nutmeg) (TNG: "All Good Things...") to help them sleep.
Quark prepared warm Enyak's milk when Kira Nerys appeared "rumpled." (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water") Similarily, Q suggested warm Kylerian goat milk to Captain Kathryn Janeway when she was having trouble sleeping. (VOY: "Death Wish")
Geordi La Forge compared the spaceborne species dubbed Junior feeding on the energy of the USS Enterprise-D to an infant being fed with milk. In order to dispose of the creature which was rapidly draining the ship's power, he realized that he had to "sour the milk". (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")
On some replicators, a milk button was available for easy manual input.
Both Commander Chakotay and Neelix thought that warm milk was repulsive. (VOY: "Unforgettable")
- This was shown in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction, which features a close-up of a replicator's manual control interface, which included a button for 'milk'.
