malted milk

noun malted milks

  1. countable, uncountable A powder made by mixing malted barley, flour and milk, the mixture then being dried by evaporation; initially developed as a nutritional supplement, later used as a flavouring. The diet was also changed to malted milk — from one-half to one ounce given at a feeding. The careful diet, stomach-washing with doses of one grain of cerium oxalate in one-half drachm of chalk mixture, given hourly, were ineffectual.
  2. UK, countable, uncountable A hot beverage made from a mixture of malted barley, flour, and milk.
  3. Australia, US, countable, uncountable A milkshake with malted milk powder added for flavour. More dispensers fail with malted milk than with any one drink that I know about. There seems to be less knowledge of what a good malted milk should taste like than there is concerning any other drink.
