Questions about Horlicks
How do you make Horlicks without lumps?
Stir the powder into a small splash of cold milk first to make a smooth paste, then gradually add hot milk while stirring. This prevents the powder clumping on the surface.
Can you make Horlicks with water instead of milk?
Yes, though it tastes less creamy; the powder already contains malted ingredients, and some versions include milk ingredients. For a richer drink, use milk or make it with half milk and half water.
Can you drink Horlicks cold?
Yes. First mix it into a smooth paste with a little warm milk or water, then stir in cold milk; adding the powder straight to cold liquid is more likely to leave lumps.
How should you store Horlicks powder after opening?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard and use a dry spoon. Moisture can make the powder clump.
What can you add Horlicks to besides milk?
Stir a little into porridge, or blend it with milk and a banana for a malted milkshake. It also adds a malty flavour to homemade biscuits and cakes.
Does Horlicks contain gluten or milk?
Horlicks is a malted drink powder, and malted barley contains gluten; many versions also contain milk ingredients. Ingredients can differ between products, so check the pack for allergen information if you need to avoid either.
