Hoosier Hill Farm Malted Milk Powder, 1.5LB (Pack of 1)

Absolutely delicious in a homemade malt. Mixes up nicely and the flavor makes a malt shake taste like the old days! Love it!

this is the 3rd malt powder i have tried and it is so far the very best!! best taste no after taste or anything just malt like it should taste!

Perfect flavor, good price- dissolves well in Malts!

After the ruining of Horlicks, invented 150 years ago by the Horlicks brothers who emigrated to the US from England (and later developed by them in England), I am looking as a US resident for a substitute. The Hoosier product does not quite match the Horlicks product that was discontinued in the UK some time in 2018/2019 and replaced by an Indian-style product that was advertised as a breakfast drink that gave children energy and contained far too much sugar (The replacement available in the UK has at least had the excess sugar removed now but doesn't mix nicely like the legacy product; I think that updated UK version is what you get in the US but I have not tried it recently as there is no easy way of being sure what you are buying here; I don't trust the info on the jar label).By the way, the label on the Hoosier product only mentions ice cream and cooking; I am only interested in a soothing bedtime milk drink. I put some in a Latte cup, add a little water, mix to a paste, top up with milk, slowly mixing/stirring, then heat in the microwave, basically following the Horlicks instructions.Hoosier Farms may be missing a market here. I do not know how many Horlicks drinkers there were in the US, or how many have given it up following the English Horlicks catastrophe (blame GlaxoSmithKline). I did find a lot of comments on Facebook about the horlicks disaster, but they were mostly from people in England. The Horlicks I bought in the US up to early 2019, mostly through Amazon, was just like the Horlicks I drank in England as a boy growing up in the 1950's. As a side note and a caution, Horlicks is often sold in Indian shops (where I get my Madras curry paste and Basmati rice), but that is Indian-style, too sugary. I think it is a case of "The Empire Strikes Back", as Horlicks was introduced to India by the British in the 1930's, and they are getting their revenge!I am keeping back a couple of 500g jars of the original English Horlicks product in case someone indicates they would like to analyze a sample and try to re-engineer (synthesize, replicate?) it.The other product I am evaluating is Carnation Malted Milk by Nestlé.Harry Powell

Excellent malted milk. Adds to the flavor.

Great product thank you

This year I decided I wasn’t going to deny myself things I love just because of price. So I bought some Carnation Malted Milk at the grocery store. One of the first things I noticed was it had a lot of ‘added sugar’ in the nutrition information, but sugar was not listed as an ingredient. Yeah, ingredients do contain sugar, but added sugar is not sugar in the other ingredients. Strike 1.It wasn’t what I remembered. You had to add a bunch to start to taste the malt flavor. Strike 2.On to Hoosier Hill. I decided to try this, although the price was a lot higher. I figured it would have more malt flavor and less sweetness. Comparing the two, it wasn’t much different. And, after reading recent reviews, it seems like this product is not what it used to be. Still lots of 5 star reviews. But Amazon reviews have gone downhill too. Any 5 star review that is no longer than a few words can immediately be discounted. You’re left with complaints that both quality and quantity are lacking.I was considering buying the 25lb bulk package, which would make it only a couple of dollars more than Carnation charges. But based on my comparison, the end result would be the same. Even though Hoosier Hill claims 2tblsp is a serving compared to 3tblsp of Carnation. They’re the same, and need just as much to start to taste the malt.So between Hoosier Hill, Carnation, and Soda Fountain brands, none is great. Carnation is just the cheapest. If you happen to find Carnation Chocolate Malted Milk, skip it. You can’t taste malt at all.Maybe I’ll try grinding up malted milk balls. They still taste like they should.

This mixes easily into ice cream for shakes. I use it regularly in the shop
