    What do you mean make it at home. You can't make milk. Well you can, but you probably don't want do drink it.

    Do you have a cow that you are milking and you want to get all the fat out of the milk? Or are you talking about buying whole milk and reducing the fat from it?

    I think the milk companies actually spin the milk and the fat separates out of it. If you have fresh, from the cow, milk. the best you could probably do is let it set and skim the fat off the top. If it is from the jug, just buy skim milk next time.

    :laugh: :laugh: wellll helooooooooooooooo i dont make milk at home :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    lolzzzzzzzzzz... anyways... i buy whole milk.. im from pakistan.. here we buy whole milk from market.. carton milk is little more costly than this ... then we boil it,... there comes a layer of fat on top and we remove it and then drink... i didnt know is that much skimming is enough

    my packet said before boil milk is 3.5% fat and 9% snf... what ever that means :huh:

    Ah, after I posted, I checked your profile and thought you might be in Pakistan.

    I have no idea what you could figure fat content of milk is after "boiling and skimming"--although it sounds like it would decrease fat content.

    Honestly, I don't know. Have you tried Googling for something and seeing if someone else has tried it and has some answers? Here, I just go to the store and buy Skim Milk. I'm sure the process for making it is very similar (if not the same) that you are doing but not sure. However, figuring out the nutritional information will be hard.

    Here's one site I find just by Googling

    Oh, and let me add-I have to take back my words because apparently you CAN make skim milk at home. Why you would want to if it's easily available in the store, I don't know, but yes, it seems you can do it.
