How long had it been since I’d had a real, old-fashioned malted milkshake? Years and years, for sure. What in the world was I waiting for? Summer? A sign? What?
This old-fashioned shake took only minutes to make. I savored it as long as I possibly could. Although I drank (ate?) mostly milkshakes as a kid, malteds are soooo much better. Its like eating a handful of Whopper’s while enjoying a cool shake at the same time. This was a great food experience for me. Well beyond just taste and textures.

Sippin’ Down Memory Lane
I love making and drinking milkshakes like this old-fashioned malted milkshake. They remind me of my days as a kid when I could drink as many of them as I could find. I have to exercise a bit more control now, but I still enjoy them. Then, I thought they were just to be enjoyed in the hot summer months. Now I know better. I can have them any time I want! That’s the advantage of being an adult (kid)!
Make It Chocolate. Or Vanilla. Or…
I went the chocolate route for my malted. That’s what I remember having the most. And it was awesome. I could’ve done a cherry-flavored one. Or vanilla. Or I could’ve not added any flavoring at all and just enjoyed a great-tasting malted. Pure. Simple. And delicious. Ahhhhh, boy what great memories!
See Ya Later
You can make a bath of these milkshakes and freeze them for later. I would freeze them in individually-sized servings. Then just defrost them. But don’t over-defrost them. Get them a little soft. Enough to stir a bit. Good enough to sip through a straw or eat with a spoon. But not liquid runny. That’s too far.
