What is the difference between a milkshake and malt?

A milkshake and a malt are both blended beverages made with milk, ice cream, and flavorings. The main difference between the two is the addition of malted milk powder to a malt. Malted milk powder is made from barley that has been malted, or soaked in water and allowed to germinate, and then dried and ground into a powder. It has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and adds a thicker, richer texture to milkshakes.

In addition to the malted milk powder, malts also typically contain chocolate syrup or another flavoring, such as vanilla or strawberry. Milkshakes, on the other hand, can be made with any flavor of ice cream and do not necessarily contain chocolate syrup.

Malts are also typically thicker than milkshakes, due to the addition of the malted milk powder. Milkshakes are typically thinner and more liquidy.

Overall, malts are a richer, thicker, and more flavorful variation of the classic milkshake.
