(3 tablespoons nido

Nido is a brand of powdered milk produced by Nestlé, derived from fresh cow's milk through a spray-drying process. The milk is evaporated and then spray-dried to create a shelf-stable powder that reconstitutes with water. Nido is available in various formulations, including full-cream (whole milk), low-fat, and specialized versions for different age groups. The product originated in Switzerland and is now distributed globally, with particularly strong market presence in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The powder has a creamy color and mild dairy flavor, with good solubility in both hot and cold water.

Nido powdered milk is primarily used as a convenient milk substitute in beverages, baking, and cooking applications. It is commonly mixed with water to create drinking milk, added to coffee and tea, incorporated into desserts, custards, and ice cream, and used in sauces and creamy soups. In regions where fresh milk supply is limited or expensive, Nido serves as a practical alternative for enriching dishes that require milk. The powder dissolves readily in liquids and can be used in both sweet and savory preparations, making it a versatile pantry staple in many households.
