a water-reconstitutable printed, cast, coated, or extruded milk concentrate sheet; and instructions:

wherein the sheet comprises:

(a) a dehydrated milk,

wherein

the dehydrated milk consists of dehydrated cow milk or dehydrated plant-based milk;

(b) a water-soluble polymer binding agent comprising agar-agar or carrageenan; and

wherein:

(i) the sheet has a length (L) and height (H) each of about 0.05 cm to about 100 cm and a thickness (T) of about 0.005 cm ((to about 5 cm whereby L:H:T is 1:1:0.01 to 1:1:0.05 and thereby the water-reconstitutable sheet has a two-dimensional form,

(ii) the sheet is prepared by admixing the dehydrated milk, the water soluble polymer binding agent, and the plant-based protein to form an admixture; and printing, casting, coating or extruding the admixture into the two-dimensional form,

(iii) the sheet has a 3-8% water content, and

(iv) the sheet is in a predetermined portion size; and

wherein the instructions are for reconstitution of the sheet into the edible hydrated liquid milk and specify an appropriate volume of liquid comprising water for dissolution of the sheet into the edible hydrated liquid milk; and
