lactic milk

Milk is sold in several forms: liquid (ready-to-drink), powdered mixes, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. These formats are used for drinking and for cooking or baking depending on the recipe.

Common fat levels include skim/low‑fat, 1% milkfat, whole milk, and other specific percentages such as 3.2%, depending on the product.

Many milk products are fortified with vitamins A and D, calcium, and added protein. Some specialty items may also list vitamin C or other fortifications on the label.

Sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, powdered milk, and standard liquid milks are commonly used in baking, sauces, soups, and other sweet or savory recipes.

Follow the package reconstitution ratio. Examples from product instructions include: 1/3 cup powder plus 7/8 cup water to make 1 cup, and one pouch mixed with 3¾ cups water to yield 1 quart.
