Powdered Milk - Handy for Disorganised Eco-Tightwads

Powdered milk for drinking is best made up before you need it to give it time to dissolve properly (I usually do it overnight). You just add 1/3 powdered milk to 1 cup of water.


Powered milk is must have for the pantry for a number of reasons:


GENERAL BENEFITS: Don't run out of milk again! Avoiding a quick trip to the shop means less impulse purchases you don't really need.


TIGHTWAD BENEFITS: Powdered milk is cheaper than regular milk. If you don't like the flavour for drinking it is still fine in cooking. When you make a cake, pancakes, white sauce, custard or yoghurt use powdered milk. Home brand tastes as good as the expensive brand and you can add exactly how much you need.


GREEN BENEFITS: Less wastage if you don't tend to finish regular milk before it expires. Just make up the amount you need for cooking at the time.
