How to Make Powdered Milk Taste Good

Powdered milk is convenient, healthy and often cheaper than fresh milk. It's useful if you prefer to shop infrequently.

However, many complain that it does not taste as good as fresh milk.

The best way to make it taste better is to ensure the water is COLD, as in fridge cold, before adding the powdered milk. Also, add only 2/3rds of the suggested quantity on the packet.  Skim powdered milk also tastes better than the full cream powdered milk.

The transition from fresh milk to powdered can be difficult. One way to tackle the transition is to have a bottle of milk that is half fresh half mixed up powdered to begin with.  Then slowly increase the proportion of powdered milk over time.

Some people like to start with only a quarter of the bottle being mixed up powdered milk.

Another suggestion is to add flavoring to the milk such as strawberry or chocolate; however, this is not a good long term solution due to the additives and the cost.
