Horlicks Original is a classic malted milk powder that combines the toasted, slightly sweet flavors of malted barley and wheat with milk solids to create a smooth, creamy beverage. Traditionally enjoyed across generations as a comforting hot drink, Horlicks Original dissolves easily in warm or cold liquids and is commonly fortified with vitamins and minerals to complement a daily diet. Its mild malt taste and velvety texture make it popular at breakfast or as a soothing bedtime drink, and it can also be used to add malt flavor to recipes such as porridge, smoothies and baking.

To prepare, add about 2–3 heaped teaspoons of Horlicks Original to a cup (around 200 ml) of hot milk and stir until completely dissolved; for a cold drink, mix the powder into a small amount of warm liquid first or use a blender to combine with chilled milk. Adjust the quantity to taste and follow any specific serving or age recommendations printed on the product packaging.
