How to Make Skimmed Milk (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Skimmed milk, known locally as ‘susu rendah lemak’, is a nutritious beverage enjoyed throughout Malaysia, especially among those conscious of their health and calorie intake. While milk is a staple across Malaysian households, the lighter version is increasingly popular for its lower fat content. It forms the base for many beverages and desserts in Malaysia, from kopi susu (milk coffee) to kuih and bubur. The subtle, creamy taste of skimmed milk provides the perfect canvas for local flavors such as pandan, lemongrass (serai), and honey. In multicultural Malaysia, dairy milk is enjoyed by Malays, Chinese, Indians, and other ethnic groups alike. Preparing fresh skimmed milk at home allows you to control the quality and flavor, avoiding hidden sugars or additives found in some commercial varieties. This recipe infuses the milk with aromatic pandan leaves, a beloved ingredient in Malaysian cuisine, for a subtle fragrance and natural taste. Enjoy this healthy, versatile beverage on its own, or use it to enhance your favorite local recipes.
