Tips:

  • Prep your malt powder. Before mixing, ensure your malted milk powder is sifted to eliminate any lumps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. Opt for premium ice cream and fresh milk for a rich, creamy flavor. Quality chocolate syrup and malt powder will also elevate your milkshake.
  • Chill your ingredients. Using cold milk and ice cream will result in a thick, icy texture. Chilling your glass or mug beforehand keeps your milkshake colder for longer.
  • Mix it well. Blend or shake your milkshake thoroughly until it reaches your desired consistency. This ensures a smooth, well-blended drink.
  • Garnish creatively. Top off your milkshake with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of malt powder. You can also add a cherry or a wafer straw for extra flair.

With these tips in mind, you can easily create delicious and indulgent malted milk drinks at home. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to suit your preferences.
