I had the same question :)I looked at Meyenberg's website & the back label indicates that the can of powdered makes 12 one cup servings (one gal of milk has 16 one cup servings). So, one can of powdered makes 96 oz and one 12 oz can of evaporated makes 24 oz of milk... so one can of powdered makes the same as 4 cans of evaporated.Hope that helps! :)

On the 12 ounce can it reads: Makes approximately 3 quarts whole goat's milk.

I can only speak for mixing it in a blender. This is unsweetened, so if it was added to milk you would need a sweetener. I have been trying to curb my sugar intake so I add a Tbsp of this to 3/4 c almond milk, (rice, coconut or almond/coconut milk works too) plus 1/2 banana (for sweetener) and blend with cup of ice. Its like a chocolate smoothie. Great for kids too without the added calories. Just recently started trying this recipe with the Navitas Natural pomegranate powder in place of the Cacoa. Yum! Good luck

Our Son is 10 months old and believe me, it gets expensive at this point.... but! One thing we are doing now since he's older is we mix the soy with half whole milk (good for brain development per pediatrician). We originally did this because he didn't like the soy (or any formula straight), but now he loves it and it keeps a little money in our pockets with not having to go a full bottle each time. :) Good Luck!

I depends how you use it. There are supposed to be different ratios for different uses. In general, if you just mix it for use as a cow milk substitute, you get approximately 1 3/4 gallon. That is one rounded tablespoon per 8 oz of water. For cooking it is 2/3 cup powder mixed with 1/4 cup hot water. For desserts, it is a 1:1 ratio of powder to water. You will get much less using the cooking or dessert ratio. I like to make it richer with more powder, and then add liquid vanilla creme stevia sweet drops from sweet leaf. These can be found at www.sweetleaf.com/products/sweet-drops-products or Amazon or your local health food store. Pick any flavor you like. I depends how you use it.

But what are the proportions? I purchased the Safer 3-in-1 "concentrate from Amazon. But nowhere on the bottle does it give proportions for mixing. And when I return to the aAmazon page, it said no need for mixing, even though the product is called a "concentrate". So my question is how many parts water to one part of this concentrate?

Mix water, or milk, or cream, etc., a little at a time until you get the right consistency. It mixes easily and does not lump. It's a good substitute when you don't have fresh, so I keep it on hand.

I think It's easy to mix. I don't have problems. I mix with a few of water. But you can mix with milk also. To be sure that my seven years daughter drinks everything I use just few water.

Try adding some powder milk powder to the liquid milk, increases your yield. I use 1/4 cup per qt. but again it depends on the brand of powdered milk, I use bob's red mill.

Since it has powdered milk in it, just add water to activate the milk. Adding more milk makes it too much dairy for me.

FYI, I first bought Cadbury's many years ago, and they used to say the following in their microwave instructions: mix the powder in a mug with a small amount of milk until it forms a paste, then add the rest of the milk and stir. This is the easiest way to get that powder incorporated with the milk. Delicious!

I use my own recipes and have never used powdered milk. I have substitued dill pickle juice for the water when making my dill bread but that is, again, from one of my own recipes.

Do you still add powdered milk to thicken it up? Thanks for your reply. I love mine. I use homemade vanilla and read about a tiny dash of salt (can't recall the purpose ) and about a cup of the bulk Splenda (not the little envelopes) done in 6 hours.

Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!

We use 2 packets & about 1/2 gal of milk. In a 1/2 gal jar, hand tighten the lid. Leave at room temp for 24 hrs. Lightly mix after 12 hrs. If it doesn't look thick enough after 24, go another 12 & if needed another 12. After making a few times you will get the hang of it

Well do you think you stirred it up long enough? It should be somewhat clear when you finished. Once you follow the amount to mix per gallon you should be good. But ya Im sure you probably should use it as soon as you can

Just put seeds in a blender, add water until the water is an inch above the seeds, and blend. I wonder how much milk the 5 lbs. would make in terms of gallons.

You just add it straight into the milk. You need to add a little bit at a time and mix it in. Otherwise it will clump together like cornstarch does. I found that if I mixed it in in small amounts, it mixes better. Also, I always put in 2 teaspoons.
