Take a polished vertical surface. You can use a glass plate for this purpose. Pour a drop of milk over it. If it flows slowly while leaving a white coloured trail behind it, then it is pure.

2. Reduction Test
Take some milk and boil it on a low heat. Keep stirring it with a spoon till it becomes solid like khoya. Turn off the heat and keep it aside for 2-3 hours. Observe the solid produced by the milk. If the solid is oily, then the milk is pure. If the solid produced is plastic type, then the milk definitely contains some contaminants.
