Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe

Orange drink mix and powdered milk make a simple creamy cooler. This is mixed to drink immediately, because reconstituted milk no longer has the shelf life of the dry powder.

Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI / SCP La Tuna Commissary Sheet.

Make it

Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Follow the milk powder label to make one cup of prepared milk, using its water amount and mixing order.
  2. Mix a small spoonful of the prepared milk with a little of the measured sweetened orange mix in a separate cup. Check whether the texture stays acceptable before adding the rest.
  3. If compatible, stir the orange mix through gradually. If it separates unpleasantly, choose the clear-orange variation next time rather than adding more powder to this batch.
  4. Taste, dilute with a little extra safe water if too strong, and add optional safe-water ice. Drink promptly or refrigerate.

The useful detail

Fruit drink mixes differ. A small compatibility check avoids committing all the milk to a combination that separates.

When the store is different

Omit milk powder for a clear orange cooler.

Serving & handling

Mix moist ingredients close to serving. Keep opened or mixed perishables refrigerated if they are not being eaten promptly. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
