# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting in a cafe line and tastes just as satisfying.
  • The malty chocolate flavor hits different when it's ice cold and creamy.
  • You can tweak the sweetness and milk type without any fuss.
  • It's the kind of drink that perks you up without feeling too heavy.
02 -
  • Always dissolve the Milo in hot water first, or you'll end up with clumps floating in your drink no matter how much you stir.
  • Use cold milk straight from the fridge, because room temperature milk makes the ice melt too fast and waters everything down.
  • If you pour the milk too aggressively, it splashes everywhere and you lose that satisfying layered look before you stir.
03 -
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before assembling so the drink stays colder longer.
  • Whisk the Milo mixture until it's completely lump free and slightly frothy for the smoothest texture.
  • If you like it sweeter, try adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a more complex flavor.
