Double toned milk is a type of milk that has been standardized to contain a minimum of 1.5% fat and 9.0% solids not fat. It is made by diluting full-fat buffalo milk with skim milk and water to reduce its fat content. The same combination of buffalo milk with skim milk or water gives double toned milk, and its fat content is as low as 1.5% . Double toned milk is produced by UNICEF for free distribution to homeless youth and low-income families. Unlike single toned milk, double-toned milk is always pasteurized.
