If money is an issue, you can get powdered milk to taste more like real milk if you add a little oil to it - the mildest flavored one you can. And not much milk, probably about a tablespoon per gallon made.

Powdered milk is actually more expensive per liquid cup than fresh milk, I understand. I appreciate the tip, though.

That might depend on location - it's less expensive here than fresh. I also tend to keep it on hand for hurricane season.

Plausible explanation. Also, valuable reason to have some on hand.
