This is an old recipe from my childhood, growing up in hot and muggy Southern Indiana.
1 cup hot milk
1/2 cup chocolate malt powder (not cocoa)
3 cups cold milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Combine the hot milk and the chocolate malt powder, stirring until the malt powder is completely dissolved. Add the cold milk, vanilla, salt, and peppermint extract; refrigerate to chill. Before serving, add a pint of vanilla ice cream and stir until frothy. Great refreshment on a hot day!
CLASSIC CHOCOLATE SHAKE
This classic recipe is from a very old newspaper clipping about an old "Shake Shop" that was popular during the 1950s but is long gone.
