How to Reconstitute Dry Milk Powder
Take milk, dehydrate it, and the resulting granules of powdered milk increase the product's shelf life. Dry milk powder costs less than liquid milk too. Dry milk powder does not require refrigeration until you reconstitute it. Once you make milk from dry powder, the final product belongs in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can use reconstituted dry milk powder in all of your recipes as a substitute for skim milk, or use the powdered form in recipes requiring powdered milk. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings

Do not confuse dry milk powder with baby formula. Interchanging the two could result in nutritional deficiencies to your child. Formula contains nutrients and healthy fats which milk powder does not.
