Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons 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!, unsweetened
- 1½ Tablespoons sugar or to taste. The recipe is super flexible. You can also use brown sugar.
- ¼ Cup 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, hot
- ½ Cup 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!, whole fat
- 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
- Store Milo Dinosaur in the fridge up to 2-3 days in an airtight container for advance preparation.
- Use frozen Milo cubes to avoid dilution from melting ice cubes.
- For a richer treat, add ice cream or whipped cream as toppings or blend with ice cream.
- Sugar and Milo amounts are flexible; adjust to taste and type of Milo used.
