the.com/powdered milk
Milk with the inconvenience of being a liquid surgically removed.
means Milk that has been dried into a shelf-stable powder by removing nearly all its water, to be reconstituted later by adding it back.
from A plain compound of "powdered" (from "powder," via Old French "poudre" from Latin "pulvis," dust) and "milk" (Old English "meoluc," with deep Germanic roots). The thing itself owes its name to the process: industrial-scale drying of milk into powder took off in the 19th century, especially via spray-drying methods, giving armies, sailors, and pantries a milk that wouldn't spoil.
