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

Horlicks seems to be one of those drinks you either love or hate. I hadn't tasted this for several years when I got the urge to chuck one in the shopping recently. Horlicks has the reputation for being a bed time beverage that helps you to sleep, and although there is some witchery pokery information that seems to back this up there is no real evidence that neither warm milk nor the malted milk which Horlicks is aids sleep. There is some case to be made for the psychological relaxation that this drink (and warm milk in general) induces, via a subconscious psychological infantile response (warm bottle or booby before sleepy time as a baby). Or because it ...  Read the complete review

Seriously, what is with the positive reviews of Horlicks Original! I have tried it a number of times because I've been advised by a number of people that it really helps to send you off to sleep - and so I have persevered in order to have these positive effects (a bit like the health benefits of drinking disgusting green tea), but I have to say that this drink really is absolutely revolting! I have the Horlicks that comes in a 330g glass jar which I bought from the every trusty Tesco's for just £1.99. When I first bought this I thought the price was reasonable, but having said that, at the time I actually didn't realise that the jar would sit in my cupboard ...  Read the complete review
