Mokate Hot Chocolate Drink Salted Caramel

 

The creamy froth, chocolate sprinkles, and Nice biscuit do not come with the packet! The mug on the right is what the product looks like when made up as directed. 

This is a cheap, convenient, and tasty little instant chocolate drink. The little sachets are good to take when staying a night or two in hotels which give you a kettle, but only tea or coffee sachets. You can also use them at home, though I prefer the flexibility, the economy, and the more environmentally friendly larger containers. Not sure, though, if Mokate do the standard containers - all Mokate products I've had in the past have been in sachet form. 

This is not a top quality product, but it is tasty and quite drinkable.

Horlicks

 

Horlicks is awesome. Sweet, malty, milky goodness.  

Horlicks is a malted milk drink. Malted milk was devised by James Horlicks in the 1860s in England as an infant food supplement, but had no success marketing, so moved to America to join his brother where they developed the idea, and in 1873 formed the Horlicks company. Though intended as infant formula, it found success as a nutritional food for explorers, and was taken to the South Pole, where a range of mountains is called Horlicks Mountains.  The formula was used to create Malted Milk biscuits, launched malt (or soda) shops, and became hugely popular in the UK as an evening drink at home and in hospital.
