Supplies Needed

Clean quart container
13 oz. can of evaporated whole milk (reduced fat, skim, and sweetened condensed milk will not provide enough calories or nutrition)
18–19 oz. of water
2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar or 1 tablespoon of light Karo syrup
Instructions

Combine the above ingredients into the quart container.

Stir until the sugar or light syrup is fully dissolved. The added sugar will help your child break down the proteins in the evaporated milk.

After serving your child, any remaining emergency formula should be refrigerated.
Any unused formula should be discarded after three days.
