To make 35mL of milk: Mix 1 level scoop of powder (6.5g) with 30mL of warm water.

To make 1 liter of milk: Mix 190g of powder with 870mL of warm water. 

First, add about half the water to the powder and mix into a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilized. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. 

Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. You can save time by making larger quantities and storing it frozen in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.

Warm milk to about 95°F (35°C). Feed from a syringe or bottle with a teat. Feed every 2-3 hours for the first 5 days, reducing this to every 4-6 hours as pups get older. Once significant solid food is being consumed the quantity and frequency of milk feeds can be reduced accordingly. Pups will need to be stimulated to defecate and urinate in the first week of life. As pups are born well-developed and mobile, they may be encouraged to lap soon after birth. To avoid dehydration during periods of hot weather supply plenty of fresh water. Consult your veterinarian or breeder for particular advice about caring for young guinea pigs.
