Fruity Milk Syrup

Fruity Milk Syrup 

Its been said on more than one occasion that powdered/instant milk doesn’t taste the same as fresh milk. Well, that’s true. But you still need to make sure and have a source of vitamin D to balance out your emergency pantry nutrition. One way to make powdered/instant milk more palatable is to add a flavoring to it. Some use chocolate syrup, some use a commerically available vanilla or strawberry powder, some recommended a drop or two of vanilla extract, etc. Below is a recipe for making your own fruit flavored milk syrup. Really easy, and my kids thought it was fun and tasty when we tried it.
