Horlicks Malted Milk Drink

I don't often have hot drinks, however i felt like one the other day. I was at my girlfriends, and all they had was Horlicks. Well there was tea, but im not a fan really. So i had a mug of Horlicks and i was rather pleased with what i got. When i do get round to having a hot drink, i usually like it to be mikly. My favourite Coffee is a latte, which is so because of the steamed milk. This also makes me a fan of hot chocolate. And when i asked for the Horlicks, that is what i thought i was going to get. Little did i know that it is not a hot chocolate. I could not tell you what flavour it is just from the taste. It didn't taste like what i was expecting. I ...  Read the complete review

I think this is the most comforting drink you can get. There's even something special about the ritual of making it, making a paste with a splash or two of milk and two or three heaped teaspoonfuls of Horlicks, and then carefully heating up the milk before slowly mixing it together. For me, Horlicks has to be the traditional sort. It has to come in that jar with the bobbly edges, and the big blue plastic screwcap lid, sealed in with paper. However, it is also available as Instant or Light, and there is even a chocolatey version. It has a lovely flavour - malted milk, just like those biscuits with cows on. One or two of those and you've ...  Read the complete review

I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping and I told my friend about it and she suggested trying Horlicks. Conveniently she had some in the cupboard and kindly made me a cup! I have heard many good things about Horlicks but when I tasted it, I hated it. I'm not saying its an awful thing as you have to remember taste is a very personnal thing but my tatse buds did not appreciate this taste at all. It tasted thick, milky and malty. I found it to be rather sickly to be honest. I tried to get used to the tatse and drank most of the mug of it. Everytime I thought about the taste I wanted to be sick. To this day, if I think about it, I want to be sick. I'm ...  Read the complete review

With it now being dark from the moment I get up to go to work and again when I travel home I begin to feel like a bear going into hibernation. It happens every year, I get more and more exhausted which in turn reeks havoc as I become a haven for all the winter bugs so this year I decided I simply needed to up my sleep. So I now diligently trot of to bed at 10pm, well when im not studying or have something interesting to watch on iplayer! And sometimes you just need a little encouragement to send you into the land of nod, something warming and inviting like a mug of Horlicks! Im an original girl and have been drinking this stuff since I was young, ...  Read the complete review

Horlicks is a malted milk drink, promoted primarily (in the UK anyway) as a relaxing bedtime drink to help you have a restful night's sleep. I used to buy hot chocolate for my night-time drink but my mum accused me of being too high strung and bought me a big jar of Horlicks. I am indeed a terrible caffeine addict and no amount of heart palpitations will make me consider giving that up, but I have started to have a mug of Horlicks before bedtime, just to make the effort. You put 3-4 teaspoons into a mug, add a tiny bit of water and mix it to a smooth paste (to get the lumps out). You then add 200ml (1/3 pt) of hot milk and give it a really good stir. It ...  Read the complete review
