Milo Dinosaur

April 26, 2019

Milo is a malt and chocolate powder that’s usually mixed with hot or cold water and sugar. Alternatively, you can also use mix it with milk. I enjoyed Milo since I was a kid.

Cold Milo drink is my usual drink during recess time when I was in grade school. In my family, we love Milo a lot that we use to eat the powder itself. I think we love it more when we eat the powder straight from the container or from the individual sachets rather than when it is in drinkable/liquid form.😅

Although I love Milo so much, I haven’t thought of adding the powder on top of my drink until I discovered it in Malaysia. A cold Milo drink is famous in Malaysia and that’s one of the things I enjoyed when I was there. And what makes me smile – that cold Milo drink has a name and it’s called Milo Dinosaur. I am not sure what’s with the name. Why not Milo Giraffe or Milo Dragon?🤔😂 Well, whatever the reason, who cares?? This thing is one of the best cold drinks you’ll ever have, especially when you grew up with Milo or when you love a malt and chocolate drink.

>> Just for fun, I shared a video on YouTube channel. <<

Milo Dinosaur is simply a cold Milo drink with water (or milk), ice cubes and sweetener, topped with more Milo powder. For a more chocolatey taste, you can add cocoa powder. For me, who grew up with Milo, this drink is one of the best drinks I’ve enjoyed.

TIPS:

(1) I made this the night before and placed in a liquid container. The mixture became very cold the next day and the only thing I did the next day was get my glass with ice and poured the Milo mixture and then topped with a heaping spoonful of Milo powder. I also added Milo cubes. Perfectly delish!

(2) You can also make a huge batch of this and keep in the fridge. When you are ready, just take a glass and ice cubes. A make-ahead Milo drink – that’s amazing, right? Right! Don’t forget the Milo powder – it makes the drink more enjoyable. You can thank me later and your kids would tell their friends that their parent makes the best Milo Dinosaur. 😉

I am taking this amazing drink at Fiesta Firiday #273, hosted by Mollie and Angie.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Milo powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tbsp powdered creamer (I used Coffee-Mate)
  • 1 tbsp sugar or to taste
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) hot water
  • 250 ml (1 cup) cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • 2-3 tbsp Milo powder for topping
  • Milo cubes for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mug, dissolve Milo powder, cocoa powder, powdered creamer and sugar in hot water. Stir to make a paste and add cold water.
  2. In a glass, add ice cubes and pour the Milo mixture.
  3. Add more Milo powder for topping and Milo cubes (if using).

Recipe Notes

Please feel free to adjust the measurements according to your liking.

TIPS:

  • You can make the mixture (without the ice and toppings) ahead of time – transfer to a liquid container and keep it in the fridge to make it colder.
  • You can also double, triple the recipe and keep in a larger liquid container. By doing that, it’s almost ready and you can enjoy your drink anytime you love. I did this already and it’s one of the amazing things I did. 😀
