  • ¼ cup chocolate, strawberry or any flavored syrup
  • 2 tablespoons malted-milk powder, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. In a blender, pulse all the ingredients on low speed just until smooth, about 20 seconds. (Don’t overblend — the shake will become too soupy.) Pour the shake into a soda glass and top with nutmeg or whipped cream, if desired.
  • For a vanilla malted, increase the milk to 3/4 cup and omit the syrup.
