Childhood Recipes – Milk

Are you thinking a recipe for Milk is crazy?  Not at all!

Restriction:

This particular recipe is almost always prepared by a parent.   Sometimes a much older sibling prepares it for younger family members.   Neither the parent or older child have any intention of using it personally.

Ingredients:

Carnation Instant Milk (in the red and white box), or,

for pennies more, Carnation Evaporated Milk (because it’s canned it keeps forever ~ won’t get bugs in it or turn into a solid block it if gets wet.  Perfect for your fallout shelter!)

Water

Instructions:

Mix.  Don’t worry about the clumps because no matter how much you stir, mix or blend this they will not completely disappear.   If you used the Carnation Evaporated Milk there are no lumps.   That’s one reason why it costs more.

Tell your children (or younger siblings) that, despite its somewhat watery with floaters appearance,  it tastes just like regular milk!  Insist they use it on their cereal if they won’t drink it outright.

Store unused milk in refrigerator indefinitely, even if the kids start eating their cereal dry.

When it turns a greenish color consider make a new batch.
