Milo is a versatile drink and there are many different ways to serve it, as many people drink it. This article will explain the 3 most common ways to serve Milo, and teach you how to make variations of the popular Milo iced drink, including the Milo Dinosaur and Milo Godzilla.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Serving Plain Hot Milo
Step 1. Gather the ingredients
This recipe is a basic milo recipe. Make it according to the directions on the package, or modify it to suit your taste. For this recipe you will need:
- 3 tbsp Milo powder
- Hot water
- Optional additives: Milk, cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate syrup
Step 2. Heat 350 ml of water
Milo doesn't dissolve well in cold milk, so most Milo servings start with hot water. You can boil the water in a kettle or heat it in a microwave-safe container for 1-2 minutes, until it starts to steam.
Step 3. Put the Milo powder in a mug or cup
According to the instructions on the package use 3 tablespoons, but many Milo connoisseurs prefer to use more than 3 tablespoons, depending on individual tastes. Start with 3 tbsp, then see if you like it. You can always add Milo powder later, or make it more concentrated next time.
Step 4. Add hot water and stir
Add a few tablespoons of water first, and mix well until a paste forms, then add more water and continue stirring until your cup is almost full.
Step 5. Chill Milo and enjoy
You can add a few tablespoons of cold milk to Milo to cool it down and create a softer texture. You can also drink it straight away without adding anything, but be sure to let it sit for a while if you're making it with boiling water.
Step 6. Modify Milo's recipe
Many people like to add additional ingredients to their Milo concoction. Try the basic recipe first to get a sense of the initial taste, then experiment with yours next time.
- Add 1 tsp (or more) of sugar to the mug before adding the hot water for a sweeter taste.
- Add 1 tsp (or more) of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup for a stronger chocolate flavor.
- Use hot milk instead of water for a softer result. Heat the milk in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat until it starts to bubble, or microwave for 2 minutes in a microwave-safe container.
Method 2 of 3: Serving Cold Milo
Step 1. Gather the ingredients
This Milo variation is a favorite drink for breakfast for children in various parts of the world. For this recipe you will need:
- 5 tbsp Milo powder
- 1, 5 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- Hot water
- Cold milk
Step 2. Heat the water
You only need a few tablespoons of water to dissolve the Milo powder. Boil the water in a kettle or microwave it for 1-2 minutes, until it releases steam.
Step 3. Put 3 to 5 tablespoons of Milo powder in a mug or glass
How much to measure depends on how thick the Milo you like.
Step 4. Add hot water to dissolve Milo powder
Pour enough hot water into the glass to cover it by about 2 cm. (Measuring boiling water is a dangerous process, so that's all for this step). Then stir, stir, and stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
Step 5. Add 1.5 tbsp of sweetened condensed milk
Sweetened condensed milk will sweeten the drink and add a very creamy and creamy texture to the drink. Stir the drink again briefly.
Step 6. Add cold milk to fill the glass
Stir one last time, then drink. You can use low-fat or skim milk, but most Milo lovers prefer to use whole milk.
