# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely faster than coffee: No brewing, no waiting, just whisk and pour over ice.
  • The chocolate flavor tastes indulgent without being heavy: That malty sweetness hits different when it's ice-cold.
  • You can customize it endlessly: Creamy, sweet, plain, or with toppings, it bends to whatever mood you're in.
02 -
  • Lumpy Milo is a texture disaster: Whisk it properly with hot water first, or you'll end up with chalky bits that no amount of stirring later will fix.
  • Taste the Milo mixture before adding milk: This is where you catch whether you want it sweeter or more chocolatey, so you're not guessing once everything's mixed together.
03 -
  • Make a Milo concentrate batch at the beginning of your week: Whisk up three or four servings' worth in a jar, and you can pour a portion over ice whenever the craving hits without any morning prep.
  • Frozen milk cubes are a game-changer: Freeze milk in an ice tray instead of using water ice, so as it melts it doesn't dilute your drink, it just adds more cold milk.
