What each ingredient does
- Mixed milk
- Forms the base liquid; removing the cream from the top lowers its fat content before dilution.
- Water
- Dilutes the milk, lowering the concentration of its fat, protein and sugars.
The step that matters
Remove the cream and measure from the top of the bottle. Cream rises to the top of unhomogenized milk, so skimming from the top removes it. The measured volume taken from the top sets the fat and solids concentration of the final dilution.
