What is Malt?

The malt, malt shake or malteds are the name for the similar drink which is prepared with all the typical ingredients of the milkshake. Even the technique or the recipe of the malt goes quite the same as of the milkshake; the difference which divides them into two different types of beverages is the use of malted milk in the case of malt. It will be pertinent to mention here that the malted milk is not added for the preparation of the milkshake. The confusion which arises in the mind of laymen is that the malted milk powder is used as a replacement of the fresh milk in the malt, but that is not the case.

In malted milk powder, the milk rehydrates the powder and equally distributes it around through the process of blending. People often also get confused about what actually the malted milk is; it is a powder that is derived from the mixture of wheat flour, malted barley and the evaporated whole milk.
