Malted milk powder, sold near the hot cocoa mix at the grocery store, combines barley malt and milk for a more nutritious, sweeter drink than milk. Malt powder comes from sprouting barley, drying it and grinding it into a powder. It has a nutty, toasty, somewhat buttery taste that makes it a natural choice to enhance milk and make it richer. Try a relaxing cup of warm malted milk prepared from homemade powder or mix it with cold water or milk for an alternative to flavored milk. You can also add it to cookies or other baked goods to give them a homey, wholesome flavor.
