Do you make and drink milk from milk powder?
It is certainly convenient. You can make a glass, quart, half gallon, gallon, etc.
Whole milk or skim milk are the most common powdered milk. Just add the proper amount of good, tasty water and the proper amount of milk powder. It is easier to mix room temperature water than very cold water, at least in my experience. Make it, chill it, drink it later.
This is also more economical in some parts of the USA than others, depending on what the milk powder costs, what milk from the dairy case costs, and what your water to reconstitute the milk costs.
If you do not like skim or nonfat milk, and only have nonfat milk powder, you can always mix one portion of the powder made milk with an equal amount of whole milk, and you end up with something close to 2% milk, or mix 2% milk with the nonfat milk powder to get about 1% milk.
Also, it can be good to have milk powder if you cannot get dairy milk easily, such as in very bad weather.
Milk can be used as a coffee or tea additive, although many prefer half and half or a powdered or liquid milk creamer/lightener.
If your tap water is not tasty, use bottled water.
