In Which I Tell People How To Make Milo

(transplanted from "What are the odds?")

YEAH. Anyone who thinks this is legit raise their hand. Whatever, here goes.

Nope, sir, this is a cup of coffee. The sun has gone down now, so the step-by-step photos will come tomorrow, promise.

How to Make a Milo That is Just the Right Flavour and Does Not Burn Tongues!

Milo in a mug is a nice, hot drink sometimes served in cafeterias and hybrid sari-sari stores. You can pay the alé just a few coins, sit on one of the outlet's plastic chairs and wait for a steaming cup of it to be served to you, snacks optional.

But if you'd like to make it at home, instantly, not procrastinating while waiting for your drink to cool down, and if the servers always miss your preferred application of ingredients or they splurge on them, check out this successful formula.

You will need:

• Milo drink powder from the big packet (if it's in a 3-in-1 packet, it will defeat the very purpose of this essay, so please don't use that one, take the not 3-in-1)
• Powdered milk (Alaska, Bear Brand, Nido, doesn't matter)
• Sugar
• A fair-sized mug
• Teaspoon
• Boiling water from the kettle or thermos
• Room temperature water
  
  
  
  

  

  NIDO IS EXPENSIVE. can you see the price?

  
  
  

Before everything else, guarantee you have a stand-by kettle or thermos with hot water inside.

Okay? Okay.

First, gather your ingredients, mug and utensil.

Next, cut the plastic of the Milo, just by the mouth of it, NOT in the middle, I say, what the crack are you thinking!and take the lids off the cans of powdered milk and sugar.

Then, measure two teaspoons of milk, sugar and Milo, no more no less, and pour carefully into the bottom of the mug.

After, take your kettle/thermos with piping hot water, and precisely pour 6/8 of it into the mug. The powders will immediately dissolve. But, they need a little help, though, to be distributed nearly equally in the glass of liquid.

So, take the previously used teaspoon and stir it clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on your handedness, for five seconds.

Using left here was a challenge :L

After blending them, pour room-temperature water in the mug, till there's only a pinky-fingernail gap between the liquid and possible overflowing Milo liquid that slides off the cup's mouth and will annoyingly stick to your fingers. Mix it again, so the coolness will diffuse the warmth.

Finally, you can serve it to your mom and see how she covertly appreciates not burning her tongue and for that just-right flavour.

I'm not mom btw xD but I guess I did stir her Milo that Saturday when I took the pictures

One more note. If you still think that the Milo, milk or sugar flavour is paltry, feel free to add half a teaspoon or one more of the ingredient into your cup. And if you would rather have another chocolate malt drink, like Ovaltine or Horlicks, shame you can replace the Milo words in the text above with it. Also, if your mom doesn't like it, then she's wrong.
