How to Make Iced Horlicks Kosong (Traditional & Healthy Version)

Persediaan: 15 minit

2 hidangan

Mudah

Iced Horlicks Kosong is a beloved Malaysian beverage found in kopitiams and mamak stalls across the nation. 'Kosong' means 'without sugar' in Malay, making this version a healthier alternative to the classic, yet still offering the comforting, malty richness Malaysians love. This cold drink is a testament to Malaysia’s multicultural food scene, blending British-imported Horlicks malted milk powder with local preferences for refreshing drinks, especially in the country's humid climate. The creamy, slightly nutty taste of Horlicks is enhanced with fresh local ingredients such as pandan leaves, adding a subtle aromatic twist unique to Malaysia. While typically enjoyed as a sweet treat, this recipe puts a health-conscious spin on the classic by omitting sugar and using low-fat milk (or 'susu rendah lemak'), making it suitable for calorie counters. Iced Horlicks Kosong is not just a drink but a nostalgic comfort, ideal for breakfast or as a midday pick-me-up, and is increasingly popular among those seeking guilt-free indulgence without sacrificing authentic flavor.
