Original Classic Malt Plain, 500 Gram

Best value of the iconic malted milk powder from Horlick’s., I use it to malt-up hot cocoa or chocolate milk.

As Advertised

We like the flavor but had trouble getting the powder to dissolve in cold milk. I looked it up after hearing it mentioned on the 'Call the Midwife' series ... yes, a nice cup of warm Horlicks is very satisfying at the end of a busy day. It's a similar taste to Ovaltine.

Decided to try this after it was mentioned on the DVD I was watching, Call The Midwives. Healthier for you than the most common malt drink mixes that are sold in the US

I was reading an article about the old "Lum and Abner" radio show and saw a drawing of the eponymous characters stocking cans of Horlicks on their store's shelves. I'd never heard of it and that got me curious so I googled it. I'm a fan of Ovaltine as well as Nestle's Carnation Malted Milk powder so I thought I'd try Horlicks, which is a "Classic Malt" product. The product arrived quickly and I made it according to the package directions the night it arrived- tonight! So, it smells exactly like wet burlap. I'm not kidding. It tastes worse than wet burlap. Perhaps old wet burlap that has been in the barn for a few months. I checked the package and it actually says, "PKD:05/22/2007". The package also says, BEST BEFORE TWELVE MONTHS FROM PACKING". That's more than 15 years ago! Holy smokes! I guess I drank about 30 ml before I just couldn't stand it and then I saw the manufacturing date. Not good. Not returnable. However, I called Amazon and I have to say without question they immediately refunded my payment of $11.57. So I am a happy, as I always am with Amazon customer service, and I am now a more educated (about Horlicks) customer. I've been thinking about the packing date. Perhaps it's "PKD:05/22" and the 2007 is part of a long serial number. If the product is indeed 15 years old, that could explain why it smells and what it tastes like. If it's from May of 2022, then it's just a horrible smelling and tasting product on its own. I guess that's worse. At least that's my opinion. God bless you if you like this.

Horlicks is my childhood drink. I still crave it even in my adulthood. I’m happy to have got it from Amazon. I drank it the other day and began to reminisce my childhood days. I encourage everyone to order it from Amazon!

This Horlicks reminded me of my childhood. I will be buying it again now that I have found a reliable supplier.

I recently purchased the Horlicks Original Classic Malt Plain in the 1000-gram package from Amazon and my taste buds have never been so grateful. This isn't just a beverage, it's a delightful trip down memory lane, each sip evoking fond recollections from my childhood. Upon opening the container, the familiar sweet scent instantly transported me back to simpler times, providing a comforting sense of nostalgia. But it's not only about reminiscing. I must emphasize that the quality and taste of this Horlicks is simply unparalleled. It still boasts that same sweet malt-milky-creamy taste that won my heart years ago and has remained consistent in delivering that homey feeling. The instructions suggest adding the powder to hot water or hot milk, but personally, I find a combination of both to be absolutely sublime. The blend of the hot liquid with the smooth, creamy malt is a match made in heaven. The flavor is rich yet not overwhelming, giving you the perfect balance that teases your palate and leaves you longing for more. I found that three tablespoons of Horlicks per 8 oz of liquid yielded a satisfyingly sweet concoction. However, one of the best things about Horlicks is the flexibility it provides. You can easily adjust the amount to your preference, making it less or more sweet depending on your liking. All in all, the Horlicks Original Classic Malt Plain is more than just a beverage - it's a sweet invitation to relive cherished memories while creating new ones. It warms you up from the inside and provides a comforting embrace that only few products can deliver. With its nostalgic taste and versatile preparation, it's a delightful addition to any kitchen pantry. Five out of five stars, and highly recommended for anyone seeking a classic beverage that feels like a warm hug in a mug.
