How to make
fortified milk
Milk is a nutritious
food. Fortifying milk
makes it even more
nutritious. It doubles
the goodness
without doubling
the amount of milk
you have to drink.
1 pint of whole milk

dried milk powder
= fortified milk
Pour the milk into
a large jug. Add
the milk powered

thoroughly with a
fork or whisk.
