Measure the malted milk powder and place it into the blender pitcher. Add the pinch of fine sea salt and ground cinnamon. Briefly pulse the blender (1–2 seconds) to aerate and break up any clumps so the powder mixes smoothly.

Add liquids and sweeteners

Pour in the milk, sweetened condensed milk, honey (or simple syrup) and vanilla extract over the dry ingredients in the blender. This order helps prevent the powder from sticking to the blender sides.

Add ice cream and ice

Scoop in the softened vanilla ice cream. If you want a colder, slushier VitaMalt, add the ice cubes or crushed ice now (adjust up to 4 ice cubes or 1/2 cup crushed ice depending on desired thickness).

Blend to smooth

Secure the lid and blend on medium-high for 30–45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth, frothy and uniform in color. Stop and scrape down the sides once if needed, then blend again for 5–10 seconds.

Taste and adjust

Taste the shake and adjust sweetness or maltiness as desired: add up to 1 teaspoon extra honey/simple syrup for more sweetness, or an additional 1 tablespoon malted milk powder for a stronger malt flavor. Briefly re-blend if you add anything.

Serve and garnish

Pour the VitaMalt into a chilled tall glass, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.

Top with whipped cream if desired and sprinkle a tiny pinch of grated nutmeg or extra cinnamon over the cream. Skewer a malted milk ball on a cocktail pick and rest it on the rim for an optional classic garnish.

Serve immediately with a wide straw and a long spoon. Enjoy chilled.
