To create whole milk from reduced-fat milk, you need to add cream.
Here's a practical approach:
- Add cream: Mix 1 teaspoon of cream into 1 cup of 1% (reduced fat) milk. This approximates the fat content of whole milk.
The goal is to increase the fat percentage to around 3.25%, which is the standard for whole milk. While precisely replicating commercial whole milk without knowing the original fat content of the "reduced fat" milk and the fat content of the cream you're adding can be tricky, this method provides a reasonable approximation.
