That makes pretty tiny amounts of profit, though...the hot milk thing. If you have gotten your cooking up to the 3rd level it'll go up a star and you'll make 43 gold per recipe (as opposed to LOSING 5 G.) but even if you brand your drink category up once to make more money, an entire stack of 99 hot milks will only gain you about 7,000 G, and you need to have nearly 25,000 G to buy that stack in the first place. It's not a very good money-making trick...more of a cooking-skill-levelling trick without losing money. But raising your cooking skill helps you make more money on ALL cooked dishes you make by raising their star quality, so it's worth doing. Money wise, though...it does gain a bit of money if you've got enough to buy a stack and it doesn't take up much time, so probably worth doing if you have your drinks category branded up at least once by the festival. It could be quite profitable if you've branded up more than once, of course...all the way to gold or platinum.
I've made most of my money from selling milk straight to fill by-product requirements from town rank locks and Farm tip stuff. A bit from selling gems, and a decent amount from selling a large portion of my hoarded crops all at once when one of the requirements demanded I sell 1000 crops or animal products. But I still haven't unlocked late game stuff, yet, I'm only on Spring 1 of year 2...the money making strategies should continue to rise. I'm still nowhere near rich enough to buy everything I want/need...but I've been hoarding everything and not selling it, which makes it hard to make money, lol. (But it means I almost never get stuck on a lock, at least.)
