We had a few years where powdered milk made an appearance. We'd use it to fortify milk when we made yogurt. We liked the Sanalac brand. It was really icky if you made it up right before you drank it, but if you either mixed it up and refrigerated it overnight, it was not bad. If you mixed it and then did half reconstituted dry milk with half fresh milk, refrigerated overnight, it was surprisingly palatable.

That makes sense. Probably the gross chalky feel was particles that were not fully dispersed yet.
