Homemade Milo (GF DF)

[Frozzie]

Frozzie, I've updated this recipe - sorry about that.  This was the original version, and got tweaked to solve exactly your linseed problem.

Glad you liked it.

thanks cathy..no prob like i said will teach me to pay more attention...it will just have to be me who eats this batch and ill make another for the kids as they dont like the seeds lol..my DS is incredibly fussy and usually drive me a tiny bit crazy with his demands..the recipe is fantastic and thanks again!

My husband rang me a couple of days ago from work to tell me he had tried it as a hot drink for the first time and it was just lovely.

That's great feedback!  Must have been impressive to warrant a phone call.

Not failsafe, but thinking I'll make this as ds's 'sometimes' food, maybe even heat up some rice milk and see if he likes 'milo'

I made this again tonight, this time with decent quality cocoa and rapadura sugar.  Heaps better than my first batch, maybe my son will actually like this one, I've been eating it out of the jar by the spoonful.

This recipe is great!  It is really good in a glass of cold milk with a spoon.  It is also really nice sprinkled on icecream.  It is also great in smoothies. Very versatile. THANKYOU

Look what i found
 my son nicknamed [grub]  having fun with milo and drinking chocolate









looks like my son wants me to make the home made version ,
 l have been wanting to for a while just had not got around to it
l did not have the heart to yell at him he looked like he was having so much fun , l also got it on video [ to show him at his 21st ]
you should of seen the mess it made  there was a thin film of cocoa over everything

I was reading this thread trying to work out what milo is 😃. I dimly thought I'd heard of it and thought it was a Horlicks type drink (malted milk drink). But the ideas for used didn't seem to match this. So thanks for the post about your DH trying it as a hot drink 😘

Is it 3 tsp to a mug of milk? Is any sugar needed?  I'd like to try this with DD1.

I'm dying to try this recipe, but I have to finish off the large tin of milo I bought last winter when it was on special. I've been given a recipe for Milo biscuits so this is helping us eat through it. They are seriously addictive - I made a double batch this afternoon and they are rapidly disappearing....

Anyway, I digress, you definitely don't need to add any sugar. I usually add 2 heaped teaspoons to the milk. I like to make hot milo in the microwave. I stir the milo into the milk a little, but leave some on the top not mixed in. Then I heat it up and it comes out with a yummy crust on top that I devour with a spoon.

Thanks EmeraldSue

I made some of this a few weeks ago. I add it to a fruit milk shake using frozen fruit, a cup of milk and a few ice cubes. It's lovely. Nikki gave me the idea.
