Method

  1. 1

    Heat. Warm the milk and caramel in the saucepan over medium heat, whisking until the caramel melts in smoothly, until steaming but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Serve. Divide the malted milk powder between the mugs, pour over the hot caramel milk and stir well so no lumps are left. Serve straight away.

Storage

Best made fresh. Leftovers keep in a covered jug in the fridge for 1 day; reheat gently, whisking.

  • Source of protein: 3.4 g protein per 100 kcal, about 14% of energy (needs ≥ 12%)
  • Low salt: 0.23 g salt per 100 ml (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 ml of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 171 ml a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
