Malted Vanilla Milk Shakes
I am on a vanilla kick, and it can't be stopped. It should be noted that we are obsessed with malt, brewer's malt, malted milk balls, and the like. These milk shakes are so simple to make, and when we make them, people are always begging us for the secret ingredient. I suppose they aren't used to a malted milk shake anymore. So sad. Also, it makes me bonkers when people ask to use skim milk. It's just not as good, in my humble opinion.

Ingredient tip:
Look for malted milk powder in the supermarket aisle where dry milk powder is found or in the aisle with coffee, tea, and cocoa.
