It originates from their dairy farms.

I like the powdered milk ideas! Is the LDS powdered milk organic, and can consumers find information on where the milk originated? Also, I have seen a plastic jug with a plunger in the lid to swish the milk, does anyone know where to find one?

I was wondering if you are suppose to mix the powdered milk with warm or cold water or if it matters?

You can also mix a little whole powdered milk with the regular powdered milk. NIDO, is a brand of whole powdered milk sold in the Spanish section of Wal-mart. One added advantage of adding the whole powder is it takes away the foam from making the storehouse powdered milk.

Personally, I use a ratio of 2/1 (2 qts non-fat to 1 qt. whole) in making my powdered milk. This also means I go through about 4 #10 cans of non-fat milk to one can of whole powdered. At about $14 a can, it is a very reasonable addition to the food storage.

Keep in mind, whole powdered milk doesn’t store as long as non-fat (2 years as opposed to 30), but if you use it regularly, it is easy to use within its storage life.

A few other suggestions to help with using the powdered milk. Begin by taking whatever milk the family usually drinks (regular, 2% or 1%) and combine it with equal parts reconstituted powdered milk. Continue to cut the milkk the family drinks 1/2 & 1/2 with reconstituted powdered milk until they are drinking 100% reconstituted powdered milk. Another big rule of using powdered milk for drinkining or cereal is to let it chill at least 8 hours in the fridge. This allows the flavor to mature and it will taste much better. (This is also true of the fruit drink mix.)

Many years ago bought a bunch of powdered milk from the cannery. My family would not drink it at any cost. The expiration dates came and went. (This was before we knew milk had a much longer shelf life.) I ended throwing it all away.
As I continued to work on my storage, again, years later, I decided that I had to have milk and since the storage life was longer now, maybe it would work out. Milk was my last big item to add to my long-term storage. Began using milk in recipes and it was fine. However, remembering the reactions of the family the last time I bought cannery milk, I wasn’t quick to try again for their drinking/cereal.
This week made a batch with the sugar and vanilla. YEAH!!!! I’m not a milk drinker, but I thought it tasted like milk. Last night enticed the hubby to have some with cookies. HURRAY!!!! I think we can DO THIS! I’m SO happy. Now with all your other ways to use the powdered milk, I can foresee rotating through it just fine. Thank you, thank you.

I am mixing up my drinking milk!
My suggestion is on adding the vanilla; 1 teaspoon is too much for my liking. Start with a drop or two and taste. That is actually all I needed so don’t waste vanilla or over do the flavor.

It sounds delicious. I would like to try it…but I’m not sure where to buy it. I looked at the cannery list and thought…whoa! It’s really expensive! Do you know how many gallons you get per box that you buy?? Is the cannery the cheapest place?
