Milk is the very body of the Horlicks drink: 25g of malted powder is first worked into a smooth, thick paste with a splash of cold milk, then loosened with steaming milk until the mug is creamy, lump-free and frothy on top. Caffè d'Orzo takes a different route, brewing roasted ground barley with water in a Moka pot, espresso machine or French press for a caffeine-free cup with nutty notes and natural sweetness. Here milk is purely optional, and the drink is wonderful enjoyed black. Sugar is an optional touch in both.
