? to those of you that mix whole milk with powdered milk...


Recommended Posts

How do you mix it - what proportions do you use?

 

If I buy a gallon of milk.....how much water & powder do you mix together with it?

 

thanks

 

I *do not* like the taste of powdered milk but am hoping this helps our milk go further. I prefer to buy organic / hormone free milk BUT my last gallon was $6.58!!!!!!!!!! yikes.

Your proportions will depend on the brand of powdered milk you buy. They all have different ratios for mixing. The brand I prefer is "Morning Moos." It is far and away the best-tasting brand I have tried. I mix it up a gallon at a time, chill it (all powdered milk tastes better chilled anyway), and then mix 1/2 gallon of the powdered mix with 1/2 gallon of "real" milk.

 

 

You can mail order Morning Moos if you don't gave a local source.

When I did this, I did half and half. I had only one kid drinking the half and half milk, so I made only a little at a time. I'd buy a gallon of whole milk, and then freeze it in one quart containers. When I needed more milk, I'd thaw out a quart of whole milk, make another quart of milk from powdered milk, and then mix the two together, giving me a half gallon of milk.

 

I found that it worked best when I mixed up the powdered milk first before combining it with the whole milk. I started with the mixing instructions on the box, and then adjusted slightly until it tasted best. Chilling the powdered milk really helps the flavor, but it can chill after being mixed with the whole milk.

 

Now that my daughter is older, she drinks straight powdered milk and I don't mix it with whole milk anymore.
