Chocolate Malted Milk reaches back before the modern milkshake, when malted milk was sold as a nourishing shelf-stable drink and then found a second life at American soda fountains. This unfrozen version keeps the older counter style: cold milk, malted milk powder, and simple flavoring served as a drink rather than a blended shake.
