I have done that when all the kids were still home, 7 kids. If the milk was made the night before and mixed with usually 2% milk, it was cold in the morning and no one ever knew. Even I would drink it. Same goes for just plain old p. Milk. Make it and refrigerate so it is cold! Makes it better every time.

Wow never thought about this thank you for sharing

I bought two bags of Great Value Non-Fat Powdered Milk a couple of years ago. I never used them and they passed the Use By date 13 months ago. After watching this video, I decided to be brave. I opened one of the old bags and made a gallon. Then I stuck it in the fridge for an hour. Then I took it out and added 1/3rd Cup of sugar and 3/4 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract. Stirred it up and sampled a spoonful. It is absolutely DELICIOUS!! It tastes exactly like melted vanilla ice cream. So, the next time I make a gallon of it I will only use 1/4 Cup of sugar and the 1/2 Tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Great info. Thank you. I don't drink milk so I do buy powdered milk to cook with. I put a small quantity in a paper lunch sack. Fold top over once. Put in vacuum seal bags and seal up. Keep in storage in my basement. This way I can repackage it into very small quantities that are usable for me. The brown paper bag keeps it a bit darker and keeps my vacuum sealer from sucking up powder. I have been doing this with powdered milk and flour for years. Works very well.

Powdered milk mixed and refrigerated overnite was what was served in our household when I grew up in the 60’s. It was a thing, for some reason, even though my parents grew up on farms 😉 But so was instant tea, coffee, koolaid, margarine and lots of other not healthy things!

I used to freeze canned milk in ice cube trays and add a cube to the powdered milk and that helped the taste. My sister freeze dried a can for me so I can add a bit of it to the powdered milk. Vanilla helps and cocoa mix is good. My mother in law mixed whole milk and powdered milk so it was less expensive and it really didn't taste bad when it was cold. She had 5 boys so needed to cut corners as much as possible,

You can use old socks ,and cut so you have a way to pull over the canning jar or any jar, and put the lid on and pull a sock over ,1.keep from clanging and keep light off jars..I learned this from Heidi at rain country homestead

Store in canning jars Place a old black sock over jars.works great.

Use old black socks over jars to keep light out. Also protects from braking. Store out of light like all jared canned goods.

I have 2 kinds of powdered milk, the nonfat instant milk that is Walmart brand, and Nido which is whole milk powder. The nonfat instant milk is more granular and I have found that running it through my Ninja Storm pulverizes it to a more powdery form and it's way easier to reconstitute. I don't buy it to drink but use it in pancake mix, cream of soup mixes, gravy mixes, etc. I have also used the nonfat version several years after the best buy date and there was no issues.

I use it for emergency cooking ingredient. I vac seal in pint jars and I have made " Little pillow cases " with a tie slip the jar in it and put it on the shelf. My panty is cool and it stores well. I use a dark material that right now has cows on it My mother for awhile would buy a gallon of milk - pour 1/2 into another clean empty gallon container, then mix up 1 gallon of powered milk and put 1/2 in with the 1/2 of regular milk. We never knew till she got caught mixing it up. We never noticed a difference. Just saw 2 jugs of milk in the fridge.

I keep powdered milk . it comes in handy for cooking when I unexpectedly run out of milk. I've recently started storing some evaporated milk also

My mother used to make a mixture of Carnation non fat dry milk and whole milk in a pitcher. The other half of the gallon was used for cereal . We would put chocolate or strawberry Quik or Ovaltine when we drank it. I used it to make tapioca pudding . Takes 2 cups so I make one whole milk and one powdered milk. I am a milk drinker at 69 . About 1/2 gallon a day . Three a week . What ever little bit is left on shopping day I use to make buttermilk.

We grew up on commodity powdered milk. Memories of lumps of dry milk plopping down into my bowl of cornflakes is enough to make me gag. I store the Nido brand dry milk for cooking but no situation could ever make me drink it.

Nido is one of the best tasting I have ever had

Slip a brown bag over Glass jar for light protection

We have powdered milk, and liquid boxed milk-you can get this from dollar trees. We call this “hurricane milk.” We live in a hurricane prone area, and we stock it year round. We live way out of town, and we use it on occasion for coffee, and the kids don’t mind it for cereal. It’s so good to have.

Canning jars wrapped in foil or think dark clothe such as old towel or other fabric with zip tie to hold it on the top

I do not drink milk but store powdered milk to make a white sauce or yoghurt. Here in my adopted country you can only buy powdered milk in 'cardboard' tins. I did not realise that and lost quite a lot as it is humid here and even using a dehumidifier it did not last. Today I managed to get 2 for the price of 1 large cans so will vacuum pack it this afternoon.

I like to drink dry milk mix a gallon up and add. one can of evaporated milk , taste great to me..

Every time we had to live overseas we only had Powdered Milk not regular .. My mother always added vanilla and served it ice cold .. You make do with what you have

A nutritionist caught me this. Taken a gallon of milk, pour half into a container, using the directions to make powdered milk liquid, pour the 2 quarts into the whole milk, shake well. Make the night before, so the milk will be cold in the morning. hint shake well before using.

We take powdered milk with us on backpacking trips. Nido is powdered whole milk and tastes quite good. You can get it at Walmart in the Hispanic foods aisle.

Started using powdered milk this past year...got tired of wasting milk because it didn't get used in time. It works great in oatmeal and all other cooking/baking.

You are very blessed to have a friend that gives you powdered milk! It’s very expensive even for Great Value at Walmart.

I store in buckets jars bags anything and everything. Alot of new preppers will have you going nuts over storing preps. it's not that serious. Store as you like it will be ok.

Carnation milk in a can; thats what I grew up with - if there was no milk. Did not grow up with powdered milk, I do keep it today. You can use it beyond just drinking; I use milk powder in my fried chicken recipe. This is in the top 10 of things I keep. 🥂

My mom tried to get us to drink powdered milk when I was little, but it was awful! She put it in a milk container and stored it in the fridge. We were poor so she didn't buy the sweeten cereal..so me being a smart 7 yr old decided to add sugar to the entire gallon!! Haha!! Needless to say I got a red rump for that. I'm 56 now, so you had me laughing when you said to add sugar. 🤣

Make whole milk from powdered milk. I pressure can butter some of which is unsalted. Mix your powdered milk and take a portion and warm it. Add unsalted butter to taste and blend til the butter is suspended in the warm milk. Then add the buttered milk back to the rest of your powdered milk mix and cool. Note if too much butter has been used some will condense out as butter flecks. Good way to have whole milk on the shelf. Another option is Nestle Nido, but my experience is with only using for a few years.

Add a bit of vanilla instant pudding powder to the powdered fat free milk just before drinking a serving to thicken and sweeten it up. You don't want to store whole milk powder for long term because the fat in the whole milk powder makes it go rancid much ealier than 20 years.
