MILK

Price 5 ECUs; Weight 1/2 lb.

Milk is a nutritious liquid created by mammals, in particular cows, goats, sheep, and horses. Fresh milk is thick and tends to separate.

Often, the cream is allowed to rise to the top and then skimmed off, with the remainder served as a beverage.

POWDERED MILK

Price 10 ECUs; Weight 1 lb.

This dry powder can be mixed with water to produce skim milk. It is dried by slowly adding millet flour to milk while heating it, cooking it down until it becomes thick, then allowing it to dry. Powdered milk is sold in sealed pots or jars. One pound makes approximately 1 gallon of milk.

ICE CREAM

Price 10 ECUs; Weight —

This exotic dessert is made with milk and cream, often flavored with fruit or mint. Because it quickly melts at room temperature, it must be made fresh from snow or ice, or maintained at a low temperature, such as in a cold cellar or with alchemy or magic. This limitation means it is expensive and in most lands it is only available during certain seasons. The listed price is for a large scoop (1 cup).

YOGURT

Price 10 ECUs; Weight 1/2 lb.

This thick, fermented milk has a tangier taste than unprocessed milk. It may be sweetened with fruit, honey, or jam; blended with chopped herbs and oil to create a sauce; or mixed with water and salt, sugar, fruit, or mint as a drink.
