Nestlé

Nestlé is the Swiss food and drinks company behind many of the most familiar names on the shelf, from instant coffee to milk powder and malted drinks. In South Asian, Middle Eastern and African households its milk powders and tinned milks are as familiar as fresh milk, especially in kitchens that make sweets at home.

From Nestlé we carry full cream milk powder in sizes from a small tin to a large family pack, condensed and evaporated milk, and chocolate and malt based malt drinks. Newer to the shelf are masala chai and instant chai sticks in karak, Kashmiri, masala and vanilla chai latte flavours, sweetened and ready with hot water.

Full cream powder makes milk for tea and cereal, and it is the base of quick barfi, peda, rasmalai and milk powder gulab jamun. Sweetened condensed milk goes into kulfi, Sri Lankan milk toffee, kalakand and a quick mango or vermicelli pudding, while evaporated milk enriches custard, tres leches and a karak chai brewed in the Gulf style. The malted drinks are stirred into hot or cold milk for children's breakfast, and the chai sticks suit anyone who wants a spiced cup without simmering a pan.

Once a tin of milk powder is open, keep the lid pressed down and store it in a dry place; decant condensed milk into a covered bowl in the fridge after opening. To compare with other brands, browse our nutrition drinks and the Marvel skimmed milk.
