How to make Homemade Condensed Milk/Evaporated Milk/French Vanilla Latte Powder Mix
Ju st as Bought! – First Time Right!
I absolutely LOVE this stuff!!
You won't tell the difference as long as you use a good quality full cream milk powder. This has become my go-to recipe and tastes just like the bought Nestle version!

An Example: Checkers brand condensed milk’s net weight minus tin is 385 g = 1, 274 calories in 1 tin of bought condensed milk.
For South Africans “Crystal Valley Full Cream Milk Powder available at Checkers Shoprite is the better of the two milk powders listed below, but if you want to economize you may use Country Pasture sold by Makro to make your evaporated milk and condensed milk, but be warned, you will taste it - however, it is really not too bad – I did not notice it when using it in my French Vanilla Latte Powder. It’s really not bad as a milk replacement in coffee, either. With a dairy allergy, I find I react less to milk powder than I do with fresh milk, however, you may use the cheaper alternative if you want to cut costs, but I would only recommend using it in your latte powder mix.
Note: With the brand, Crystal Valley, a Full Cream Milk Powder, 125 g will make you 1 liter. However, with Makro’s Country Pasture brand, which comes in a 4 kg bag, you will need 100 g of powder to make 1 liter

Condensed Milk
Ingredients:
160 g (250 ml) milk powder, full cream
80 g (80 ml) boiled water
44 g (3 Tbsp) butter, melted – butter is preferable to margarine
144 g (166 ml) sugar
Method:
I just weigh in the milk powder followed by adding the butter in cubes small enough to dissolve. I then weigh in the sugar, followed by weighing in the boiled water slowly pouring it over the top to melt top contents. I then give it all a good stir with a thin steak knife (blade long enough to reach the bottom of the measuring jug or cup). Make sure you give it a good stir to incorporate all the milk powder lying on the bottom. Cover and refrigerate. Use within the next few days. Make up fresh as needed.
Calorie Counting Notes: Calories in 100 g Country Pasture powdered milk = 2060 kj divide x 4.418 = 466 calories per 100 g powder.
1 milliliter (ml) of butter in volume equals 0.96 grams (g) in butter mass.

Evaporated Milk
Makes: 500 g Total Calories with Butter: 769 Total Calories without Butter: 554
I always add the butter – It gives you creaminess and stability.
As long as you keep powdered milk on hand, you can whip this up anytime you need it.
Note: I have made this successfully using the brand, “Country Pasture,” which is available from Makro, South Africa, however, I did taste it. – Therefore, it is best to use a good quality brand like “Crystal Valley” sold by Checkers, Shoprite in South Africa.
Ingredients:
310 g (310 ml) hot water
30 g (30 ml) butter
160 g (250 ml) milk powder, full cream
Method: Weigh water into a micro-safe container and heat up in the microwave until boiling (I use a large shaker microwave-safe plastic container). Place the container with hot water on the scale and weigh in the butter. Stir or swirl it around until it is dissolved. Place the container back onto the scale, and weigh in the milk powder. Place the lid on the shaker and shake until thoroughly dissolved. Place in the coldest back section of your fridge, together with your beaters to chill overnight, especially if you are going to be whipping your evaporated milk – If not, just place in the back section of your fridge to chill.
