If you grew up in Australia in the 90s or 2000s, chances are Milo was a childhood staple. But how many scoops of Milo is too many? According to the global brand, it’s suggested you only need to add three-heaped teaspoons to a glass of hot or cold milk. However, Queensland swimwear designer Karina Irby has taken it to another level after she made a drink with seven-and-a-half generous scoops of the iconic malt powder.
Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion. “I’m going to show you how I like to make a Milo. Trigger warning,” Karina said, laughing.
“Step one, get the biggest spoon you have, boil the kettle but only for a few seconds — very important.” Karina added three-and-a-half generous scoops of Milo to her empty glass. She then poured a “little pinch” of water from the kettle.
Using a “baby” teaspoon, she gave the mixture a “good stir up” to create a paste texture. Next she poured cold milk to the glass, with Karina saying she preferred oat milk. “Pour the milk into your glass but not to the top because I am going to use my secret weapon to blend it all up,” she said.
Karina used a battery-operated handheld milk frother to stir the Milo thoroughly. She then took a second glass and added another two generous scoops of Milo. “I like to add Milo to the bottom of the (new) glass because I like to find crunchies at the bottom, it’s like a little surprise,” Karina explained.
With the dried Milo sitt.
