Great cheese comes from happy cows, but bad milk comes from mad cows
I like my coffee with sweetened and with milk or cream. However, about six months ago we found we had no milk, no cream, no half-and-half, not even whipped cream in the fridge for the coffee. What we did have was powdered milk. I tried my coffee with sweetener and powered milk and it… was… epic. See, with regular milk you’re actually diluting the coffee at the same time as you’re milk-ifying it. With powdered milk you get coffee that is as creamy as you want, but without any dilution of the sweet sweet coffee. Yesterday I had my morning cup and prepared my second cup in a travel mug – but forgot to take it with me. It sat out all day, all night, and this morning I thought, “Hey, what the hell, how bad could it be?”1
Pretty bad.
