Poor Substitutes for Milk.

It is generally understood that what is commercially known as condensed milk is ordinarily raw milk from which a part of the water has been taken. Usually the water is driven off by heat. The milk is boiled in a vacuum and the steam passes away, leaving the solids and a small proportion of the water —which residue is what is called condensed milk. It is well known that boiling Injures milk both as to taste and physical character. The condensed milk, when diluted with water, is never like raw milk in taste, odor or consistency. It is at best a poor substitute.
