Milo Ice Latte Hack (Printable Version)

A chilled Milo latte featuring smooth chocolatey notes with cold milk and ice for a quick energizer.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Milo Mixture

01 - 3 tablespoons Milo powder
02 - 1/4 cup hot water

→ Latte Base

03 - 1/2 cup cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
04 - Ice cubes, as needed

→ Optional

05 - 1–2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (to taste)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Whisk the Milo powder with hot water in a small bowl until fully dissolved and smooth.
02 - Add sugar or sweetener as desired and whisk again until combined.
03 - Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
04 - Pour the Milo mixture over the ice, then add cold milk and stir gently to blend.
05 - Serve immediately with a straw.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together faster than waiting in a cafe line and tastes like a nostalgic chocolate milk grew up.
  • You can tweak the sweetness and creaminess on the fly without measuring anything twice.
  • It works with whatever milk you have on hand, dairy or not, and still feels indulgent.
02 -
  • If you skip the hot water step and just dump Milo straight into cold milk, you will end up with sad, grainy sludge at the bottom of your glass.
  • Using too little ice means the drink warms up before you finish it, and nobody wants lukewarm chocolate milk.
03 -
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for five minutes before building the latte so the ice lasts longer and the drink stays cold to the last sip.
  • If your Milo tastes flat, a tiny pinch of instant coffee or espresso powder wakes up the malt flavor without making it taste like coffee.
