Whole milk powder

[Matt.S]

Evening all,

I've recently found a local source of whole milk powder (Nestle unfortuntely). I've been using skimmed milk powder until now for baking, brews etc., both outdoors and in when I don't have fresh to hand. The difference in fresh between whole (lovely) and skimmed (vile white water) is like night and day, but how about powdered/dried?

Cheers,
Matt

never tried the whole stuff but just put more of the skimmed c*^$ in to make up for it....

I use Nestle's - works great with cold or warm water.

I regularly use powdered milk. Ive not found much difference in taste between the skimmed/full fat. I got a 1.5kg bag of full fat for £9 from the cash and carry and keep it in the freezer. The skimmed "5 pint" stuff sometimes has a slight 'meaty' taste to it, but I don't mind a good meaty coffee.

Been looking for full fat milk powder for a while, where do you find it?

Your local Wal-ASDA-Mart may also stock it, I use a non-Nestle whole milk powder from there. for some reason It's usually found around the Jamaican cooking section.

Whole milk powder is way tastier than the horrid skimmed stuff. Putting in extra skimmed powder doesn't help the taste much because there's no fat in it to begin with.

The problem in this country is that whole milk powder is difficult to find. It still tastes like UHT milk but so much nicer than skimmed.

Check the Latina markets if they are over there or check in the Latina section of stores like Walmart and such I have never tried it but gotta be way better than the non fat stuff.

Most Asian food shops carry NIDO brand milk powder by Nestle here in Ireland.
It's much better than the low fat powered milk rubbish from Marvel.
Plus the Nido metal tin can be used to make a good hobo type stove.
Happy trails...torc.

I totally agree with the "white water" comment, I find there's almost no flavour to it so what I do is add coffee whitener to the milk powder and after a good stir it gives it a whole milk flavour. so you could experiment with the ratio's and take a mix of milk/coffee whitener powder.

Hope this helps.

I generally use coffee whitener (NOT the slimming one!) for my coffee when I'm out and about. It gives a pretty good flavour IMO.
