Milo Dinosaur
Milo Dinosaur is an over-the-top delicious drink that is really popular in Singapore. A hawker centre staple, this is not a drink for people on a diet, as it's extra sweet, extra creamy and extra comforting!
Calories: 143kcal
Equipment
- Heat-proof glass
- Spoon or fork to stir
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons unsweetened milo powder or to taste. If using sweetened milo, reduce sugar used. Get the Australian milo if you can- it tastes better than the Malaysian or Thai one!
- 1½ Tablespoons sugar or to taste. The recipe is super flexible. You can also use brown sugar.
- ¼ Cup hot water If you only have cold water it's a bit more difficult to dissolve the milo and sugar. A trick would be to put them and the water in a mason jar and shake vigorously to dissolve.
- ½ Cup whole fat milk Remember milo is a drink of excess! Low-fat is not the way to go (though you can if you want, of course.) In fact, I recommended using evaporated or condensed milk too!
- 5 cubes ice Use frozen milo to avoid the melted ice diluting the drink.
For the topping
- 2 Tablespoons milo powder or to taste. Substitute: cocoa powder.
Instructions
- Add the milo and sugar to the cup and mix well.
- Pour in the water and stir till more or less dissolved.
- Add the milk followed by the ice cubes.
- Top with the extra powder!
Notes
Storage: keep in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container so feel free to batch make and prep ahead for gatherings.
You can pimp it up by blending it with ice cream, or topping with ice cream and whipped cream.
