Instructions
 

  • In a large measuring cup or bowl, combine the water and dry milk powder. Stir until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. This equals one 12-ounce can of evaporated milk—perfect for any recipe that calls for it.

Pro tip (for a closer match):

  • If you want to nail that slightly “cooked” taste of true evaporated milk, warm the mixture gently for 5–10 minutes over low heat before using — it thickens a bit and develops that mild caramel note.
