How to Make Dry Milk Dissolve Better

Submitted by: Gale Osborn 07/16/2009 11:50 PM

Process your dry milk in your food processor to make a fine powder and it will dissolve very quickly.

Also I grew up on my mom buying whole milk and mixing it with half non-fat dry milk. I never even knew she did that until I was a teen. the milk tasted good to us. Milk is not cheap, any kind of milk but I'm a firm beliver in children drinking it for their growth and teeth. Most of the time milk is cheaper than soda. A gallon of milk is much cheaper than a gallon of soda. You choose which is better for your child. It warms my heart when my grandaughter says'Grandma, better come and make us some milk, your out of the store bought kind'!!!!!!!!Gale Osborn

So then would that be like drinking 2% milk? still worry about the amount of fat in whole milk. Have you tried mixing it with 1% milk? or does that just make the milk too weak. So cute grandkids asking grandma to make the milk.........

Yes, try mixing it with 1% or 2%. I don't have a problem with the taste. My grandkids drank the non-fat dry milk by itself. I did mix an extra 1/2 cup to give it a richer taste but still no fat.As I said my mom mixed it with whole milk while I was growing up. The whole milk came from the dairy down the road. Processing the dry milk into a fine powder makes it dissolve easily. Make homemade hot cocoa mix and process it all together and it will be great. I make mine sugarfree with vanilla coffee creamer and dry milk.YUM

Whole milk only has 3.25% fat, so in all reality unless you have a medical reason to watch your cholesterol, don't stress about the fat in whole milk and just enjoy the vitamins mineral and great nutrition that you can't get in any other drink naturally. My kids don't mind it mixed with non fat dry milk, but I have to be sneaky so they don't see my actually mix it.
