If you live near ...Ye olde fashioned powdered milk. If you live near an LDS Family Storage Center (used to be called "the storehouse"), they have a good price on powdered milk. <br /><br />The trick for getting it in a drinkable state is to use some warm water and a blender to mix it up. Then put it in the FRIDGE OVERNIGHT. And DO NOT let ANYONE see you doing it! Next step, is to have two containers from "regular" milk, one of them with regular milk in it. Split 1/2 of one gallon of milk into one container. Now pour 1/2 gallon of reconstituted milk into each container. Shake them up AND THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING! Most people will NOT know the difference. As time goes on, you can increase the level of powdered milk until it's ALL powdered milk. Just keep putting it into a "regular" milk jug and no one will be the wiser. Eventually, you'll get busted doing this, but by then you can tell them all to be quiet because they've been drinking it that way for xxx.(however long it's been.)<br /><br />Note: regular store-bought INSTANT powdered milk has larger granules and so it takes more of it to make milk. The NON-INSTANT milk that is sold by the Storehouse and other emergency suppliers has a very fine powder instead of individual granules. So when comparing prices, look at how many gallons the container makes and divide it by the price to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. <br /><br />Second note: Many recipes from emergency preparedness sites use recipes that call for the NON-INSTANT milk. You can either learn the conversion rate OR whirl your "Instant" milk in a blender or food processor until it's a fine powder and use the recipe measurement.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414690312305496399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-75751780461657731932010-03-17T15:00:35.972-05:002010-03-17T15:00:35.972-05:00Freeze milk?
