For a refreshing fruit iced tea you will need: 5 teabags (either black or green – I like the Twinings Green Tea with Cranberry), 1 litre (approx) boiling water, 2 litres cold water, 1 cordial sachet with the flavour of your choice (Apple Berry, Raspberry, Crisp Apple or Peach are nice ones for this) with […]
I use my tea bags twice, even the herbal ones. The sweet mix berry tea work only once but others did fine.
I was chatting to a dairy farmer the other day and told him about the survey we are running on this site. We had a very good discussion about milk related matters. Did you know that it takes about 12 litres of milk to make a kg of milk solids? So if the farmer is […]
I was given this tip many years ago. I always buy 1kg packets of skim milk powder, any brand , whichever is the cheapest at the time, which makes up to 10 litres of milk and unless someone sees you make it they do not know the difference. The cost of 1 kg pkts can […]
I buy 1 litre full powder milk. You can’t taste the difference. Works out to be $1.15 litre. I no longer waste my money buying plastic bottle milk and it lowers recycling all those bottles.
Instead of buying milk in plastic bottles etc I buy milk powder and make it up in the amount needed at the time. This saves any waste. A half to one teaspoon of milk powder well mixed in is the right amount for a cup of tea or coffee and nobody knows it is not […]
For the last twenty two years, my husband are I have used skim milk powder instead of buying milk. It works out at present 95c a litre. As we drink a lot of milk this is a big saving.
I found that living on my own, and not being a great milk user, fresh milk often tended to not be used by the end of the week; so now buy full cream milk powder or “long life” milk when on special. Both are cheaper than fresh milk and I can use the powder for […]
Milk powder is about half the price of fresh milk. Make it up at least half an hour ahead and the flavour is not “gritty”.
For about 30 years, we’ve been mixing up our own milk from milk powder. I buy it at $7.19 (currently) per 1kg. This mixes up to around 10 litres of milk. We have 2 x 2litre lidded jugs, and as we empty one, it is thoroughly washed and new milk made. We never run out […]
