I purchased powdered milk products and did taste tests on what I could find in Central Illinois. Nido was found in the stores specializing in foreign foods and I found it in the Mexican section of a large supermarket.

I mixed the powders according to the directions, chilled overnight in a nalgene bottle and gave it to my family. Not only was Nido the winner but they could not tell that it was powdered. Used on cereal, it tasted really good. We used it in hot chocolate and again it really worked.

Nido had been discussed elsewhere and I am glad I found it. Milkman I have had and it had been a favorite but I will be using Nido.

I bring UHT (ultra high temperature) milk on the trail for the first day or so in small cartons but it is heavy. I have found that in several stores here. In the 1980s when it was first available in the US I used that. I had used it in Europe for years but any liquid is too heavy for the long haul.
