Skim milk can refer to ready-to-drink skim milk or powdered skim milk that needs reconstituting. This answer addresses both.
Ready-to-Drink Skim Milk
Ready-to-drink skim milk requires no mixing; it's already prepared for consumption. Simply pour and enjoy!
Reconstituting Powdered Skim Milk
If you're using powdered skim milk, like Carnation® Instant Skim Milk Powder, you'll need to mix it with water. Here's how:
Steps to Mix Powdered Skim Milk:
- Gather your ingredients: You'll need powdered skim milk and cold water.
- Measure the ingredients: For 1 cup (250 mL) of reconstituted skim milk, use 25g (approximately 4 tablespoons or 60 mL) of powdered skim milk.
- Combine: Add the powdered skim milk to the cold water.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. A whisk or electric mixer can speed up this process.
Example: To make a larger batch, simply maintain the ratio. For 2 cups of reconstituted skim milk, use 50g of powder and 500 mL of water.
Tip: Using cold water helps prevent clumping and ensures a smoother final product.
