# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting in a cafe line and tastes just as indulgent.
  • The Milo gives you that malty chocolate kick without being too sweet or heavy.
  • You can make it dairy-free or extra creamy depending on what's in your fridge.
  • It's the kind of drink that feels like a treat but requires almost no effort.
02 -
  • If you add the Milo powder directly to cold milk, it will never fully dissolve and you'll end up with clumps at the bottom, always use hot water first.
  • The ratio of Milo to milk is flexible, so start with the recipe and adjust based on how chocolatey you like it.
  • Letting the Milo mixture cool slightly before pouring it over ice prevents the ice from melting too fast and watering down your drink.
03 -
  • For an even more indulgent version, blend the Milo mixture with the milk and ice to create a frozen, slushy-style latte.
  • If you love a strong chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of Milo powder, it won't make it too sweet but it will deepen the malty richness.
  • A splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon stirred into the Milo mixture adds a subtle, unexpected layer of flavor.
