Question for the prepper types...
« on: May 08, 2024, 10:25:11 PM »
I keep a variety of stuff, which I either use regularly, or have no problem dropping off at charities...
 
I just saw this, and got to thinking - could I actually get away with using a spoon of this instead of half-n-half or cream in my coffee? That way I would _have_ it and not have to go to the store and refrigerate the dairy stuff?

you should probably refrigerate this stuff.  natural foods place we shopped at when we lived in Urbana IL had dry whole milk.  It did not keep like the nonfat stuff does.

cream substitute?  yeah, probably.

No. It doesn't need to be refrigerated. It needs to be kept in a cool, dry place. In fact, refrigeration can be detrimental because, in hot humid weather, it can draw humidity to the powder when you take it out of the fridge, and that's not a good thing.

But, just chunking in a teaspoonful into your coffee may not result in the texture you're looking for. The stuff can be difficult to dissolve.

Hoosier Hills recommends mixing it before hand with a blender and letting it sit in the fridge overnight, then using it like liquid cream.

Also note that it has a different taste from the real stuff, sort of like powdered milk has a different taste.

Drink your coffee black, end of problem. Any other way displeases the coffee god.
