Want to learn how to make milk with milk powder? Here is an easy recipe for you!
This recipe makes 2 glasses of milk but you can always scale it to make more or just a single serving of milk.
Milk powder or powdered milk is milk in dry, powder form. It is often sold in tins or packets and come in a range of options like full cream milk, low fat milk and instant milk powder.
Full fat milk powder and low fat milk powder differ in the fat content, similar to fresh milk. Instant milk powder, on the other hand, is milk powder that can dissolve in cold or room temperature water. Milk powder typically requires hot water to dissolve, but depending on the manufacturer of the milk powder, different brands of milk powder may require different methods of mixing to make milk. The best way to know is to read the packaging as it would often contain guide on how to make the milk (in terms of measurement and water temperature).
Some of the benefits of milk powder is that it has a much longer shelf life due to its dry texture (there is no moisture, unlike fresh milk). It also does not require refrigeration but once the tin or packet is opened, milk powder should be kept in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
I have shared on this page, recipe for making both cold and warm milk with milk powder. This is a small batch recipe and makes 2 cups of milk, but it can be easily halved to make a single serving of milk or multiplied accordingly to make more.
You can make cold milk in the same way you make the warm milk above, but the method I use below will ensure I get cold milk quicker than when using the method above (which will take some time for the milk to chill or lots of ice to cool it down).
Add the remaining drinking water or replace it with chilled water. Stir well.
