FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of powdered milk?
This recipe relies on powdered milk to keep a dry mix. Using regular milk instead would make the mix wet and alter the storage. Use regular milk or water only when preparing the drink.
How do I prevent the mix from clumping over time?
To avoid clumps, keep the mix in a fully sealed container away from moisture. Stir well before using, especially if it has been stored for a while.
