Malt is a powder made from malted grain, typically malted barley combined with wheat extract. It is used in a variety of recipes, including breadmaking and processed foods to create caramel color and malt-like flavor. In the context of milkshakes, a malt, or malted milkshake, is a type of milkshake that contains malted milk powder. Malted milk powder is a pale-yellow powder with a milky, delicately nutty flavor that is made by combining malt powder with milk solids. Adding a spoonful of malted milk powder to a milkshake after blending the ice cream and milk gives the beverage a sweeter and richer taste. Malt enhances certain ingredients, like vanilla and chocolate, but does not pair well with some fruit-flavored ice creams and syrups.
