Last I bought some, 'bout 5 years ago, there was vanilla too. But Horlick's
makes even more flavors and their malt powder is much better for making malteds
than Ovaltine.

I was weaned to early? Besides, Guinness is both malty and chocolaty.

I've never seen "plain" (vanilla?) Ovaltine. I've seen vanilla and
chocolate Horlicks, which sounds similar.

(I love vanilla Horlicks, but it's made with wheat products, so is off
my radar. Sigh.)

I just was at Kroger's. Ovatine comes in three flavors: chocolate, malt, and
chocolate malt.

Default Malts.. Whatever happened?
I know this is an old post. I'm hoping someone will reply. I love malted milk powder but I am not sure what to buy name brand wise. I actually go in to ice cream shops and buy small containers that they sell to me since I can't find it in any stores. I see on Amazon different name brands with different reviews and I'm hoping someone can tell me the best one to use not for malted shakes but for topping ice cream. I asked the people at the ice cream shop for the name they use and they would not tell me. What name brand is used for dusty roads that is used in ice cream shops. I believe a friend bought me carnation years ago and it was horrible it did not taste right. Maybe they changed but I don't want to waste money trying all the brands. Any help would be great.

That might have been good. It would be sort of like a mocha.
I have not had a malted milk in years, but because of the lactose
intolerance thing I have never been into any kind of dairy drinks.

They included Horlicks tablets in RCAF escape kits.

The easiest place to find Horlick's is an Asian grocery store.
The Horlick brothers immigrated to Racine, Wisconsin, from London,
England in the 1800s. They invented malted milk, and trademarked that
name in 1887. The oldest public high school in Racine is named after
philanthropist William Horlick. Horlicks closed its Racine plant
completely in 1975, citing declining US demand.

Well, such things were on the menus at drug stores in days of yore.
Because of that, I did once try making a coffee malt years ago (using
the powder with hot coffee and not doing anything that was parallel to
making a chocolate malt) and it was not appealing. If I were to do that
today, the best approach would be Carnation's MM ("original"), coffee
syrup, and milk. For those who don't know, as with cocoa, if stirring
and not using another implement, it is wise to incorporate liquid a bit
at a time; adding it all at once will result in clumps.

Lacking coffee syrup, one could concoct a small amount of something
roughly equivalent to that.

I still have some coffee syrup in the pantry.

I used to be able to find THE BEST STUFF--even decaf. Oh well.
Actually, come to think of it, I have some coffee syrup in my "pantry".
The major issue is that it is a normal sugar-based syrup... and malt
powder is very carby. Someday... I will say again, that my only
attempt to combine those flavors was NOT meritorious.
