Ovaltine
阿華田
A malted chocolate drink powder, served hot or iced at every café: the drink for children and for anyone not having tea. Work the powder into a little hot water first, then top with hot milk, or with hot water and evaporated milk; over ice for the cold one. Every Australian supermarket carries the Ovaltine 400g tin, the chocolate-malt formula; the Light Break and Sleep tins are variants, so buy the plain one. Milo stands in if the tin is out.
Cautions: read first
- Contains milk, barley (gluten) and soy, all mandatory-declaration allergens in Australia; read the tin.
Preparation
Two or three tablespoons of powder, worked smooth in a little hot water before the milk goes in.
Origin
Bern, Switzerland (Wander, 1904). Ovaltine 400g at Woolworths and Coles; buy the plain tin, not the Light Break or Sleep variants.
