# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes flat, which means you can make it faster than waiting for coffee to brew.
  • That chocolate flavor hits different when it's ice-cold and creamy—somehow both comforting and refreshing at the same time.
  • You probably have these ingredients already, so there's no excuse not to make it right now.
02 -
  • If your Milo doesn't dissolve completely, the whole drink suffers—whisk it like you mean it, and don't skip this step even though it feels simple.
  • The temperature contrast between the hot chocolate base and the ice is non-negotiable; it's what makes this taste different from just mixing cold Milo and milk.
03 -
  • Make a batch of the Milo mixture in the morning and keep it in the fridge—you can then just pour it over ice and add milk whenever you need an instant chocolate drink.
  • If your ice melts too quickly, use frozen milk in ice cube form instead of regular ice; it keeps the drink cold without diluting the flavor as it melts.
