Ingredients
Instructions
- Make a paste of malted milk and boiling water.
- Add beaten egg and hot milk; beat until smooth.
- Serve with a dash of grated nutmeg.
- May be served cold if preferred.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat. If you're looking for a plant-based option, substitute the egg with a flax egg or silken tofu, though it may alter the texture slightly. Ensure the boiling water is actually boiling to properly dissolve the malted milk. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a teaspoon of honey or sugar to taste.
Serving Suggestions
This drink is perfect as a nutritious breakfast option or a comforting evening treat. Serve it in cozy mugs, and for an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of grated nutmeg or a drizzle of honey. It pairs beautifully with a slice of Marmalade Nut Bread(Blue Ribbon Winner At La Paz County Fair) for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Hot Egg Malted Milk is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 24 hours. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid curdling the egg.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Hot Egg Malted Milk in advance?
While it's best served fresh, you can prepare the malted milk paste and store it separately in the fridge. When ready to serve, simply mix it with the beaten egg and hot milk. This will help maintain the drink's texture and flavor.
Is it safe to consume raw eggs in this recipe?
Consuming raw eggs does carry some risk, particularly for those with weakened immune systems. To mitigate this, opt for pasteurized eggs, which are heat-treated to kill bacteria, making them safer for recipes requiring raw eggs.
Can I add flavors to the Hot Egg Malted Milk?
Absolutely! You can enhance the drink by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of cinnamon for extra warmth. Experimenting with flavors can make it a versatile drink suitable for various occasions.
