Boil the skim milk in a non-stick pan over high heat.
Once it's boiling, reduce the flame to medium fire and stir continuously.

Then, spread the milk evenly in a thin layer on a plate.
Dry it under direct sunlight or a fan for up to four hours.
Flip the dried milk with a turner to dry the other side.
Dry the other side for up to four hours under sunlight or a fan.
Grind the milk flakes in a food processor or miller (with sugar if preferred).
