🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 3 heaped tsp Horlicks malted powder
• 300ml whole milk
• a little cold milk, for mixing
• sugar, if you must

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Mix the powder to a smooth paste with two tablespoons of cold milk first. Tipped straight into hot milk it clumps and no amount of stirring recovers it.
2. Heat the rest of the milk to just below a simmer. Boiled milk forms a skin and picks up a scorched note that fights the malt.
3. Pour the hot milk onto the paste slowly, whisking, and it comes together smooth.
4. Drink it hot, last thing. A malted milk drink from Victorian Britain, originally sold as an infant food and now firmly a bedtime one.
