# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than waiting in a cafe line and tastes just as indulgent.
  • The nostalgic malt flavor brings back childhood memories while still feeling grown up and cafe worthy.
  • You can adjust the sweetness and creaminess to exactly how you want it without asking a barista twice.
  • It uses pantry staples you probably already have, no fancy equipment needed.
02 -
  • Always dissolve the Milo in hot water first, adding it directly to cold milk will leave you with stubborn clumps no amount of stirring will fix.
  • Use a tall glass so you have enough room for ice and milk without overflowing when you stir.
  • Drink it quickly or the ice will dilute the flavor, though some people love it that way as it melts.
03 -
  • Freeze some milk in ice cube trays and use those instead of regular ice so your drink never gets watered down.
  • Add a pinch of instant coffee or a shot of espresso to turn it into a mocha latte hybrid that'll wake you up fast.
  • Rim the glass with Milo powder before adding ice for an Instagram worthy presentation that actually tastes good.
