Are you tired of running out of milk when you need it the most? Powdered milk is a convenient and long-lasting alternative that can be easily stored in your pantry. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making powdered milk at home. So let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

  • Full-fat milk
  • A large pot
  • A stove
  • A thermometer
  • A blender or food processor
  • A fine-mesh sieve
  • Airtight containers for storage

Step 1: Heating the Milk

Pour the full-fat milk into a large pot and place it on the stove over medium heat. Stir the milk gently to prevent it from scorching and sticking to the bottom of the pot. Use a thermometer to monitor the milk’s temperature, and heat it until it reaches approximately 160°F (71°C).

Step 2: Cooling and Skimming

Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool. A layer of cream will rise to the surface during the cooling process. Use a spoon or a ladle to skim off the cream and set it aside for other uses if desired.

Step 3: Blending and Sieving

Pour the cooled milk into a blender or food processor and blend it until it becomes smooth and frothy. Next, place a fine-mesh sieve over another container and pour the blended milk through the sieve. This will help remove any remaining impurities or clumps.

Step 4: Drying the Milk

After sieving the milk, spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to spread it evenly to ensure quick and uniform drying. Place the baking sheet in a warm and dry area, such as an oven set to its lowest temperature, or under the sun. Allow the milk to dry completely until it turns into a solid, brittle layer.

Step 5: Grinding the Milk

Once the milk has dried, carefully remove it from the baking sheet and break it into smaller pieces. Transfer the pieces into a blender or food processor and grind them until you achieve a fine powder consistency.

Step 6: Storing the Powdered Milk

Once the milk is ground into a powder, it’s time to store it for future use. Transfer the powdered milk into airtight containers to maintain its freshness. Store the containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored powdered milk can last up to one year.

Learning how to make powdered milk at home is a great way to ensure you have a long-lasting supply of milk whenever you need it. By following these simple steps, you can make your own powdered milk and enjoy its convenience and versatility. So why not give it a try and never run out of milk again!
