What is "Horlicks"?

Horlicks is a malted milk powder that is commonly used as a beverage or flavoring agent. It was first developed in the late 19th century as a nutritional supplement for infants and young children. Horlicks is made from malted barley, wheat, and milk, which are dried and ground into a fine powder. The powder is then mixed with hot milk or water and sweetened with sugar or other sweeteners. Horlicks has a unique and distinctive taste that is both sweet and slightly malty, and is often consumed as a bedtime drink to promote sleep and relaxation. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, iron, and vitamin D, and is often marketed as a health drink. Horlicks is a popular and beloved beverage in many countries around the world, particularly in India, where it is often consumed as a part of a healthy and balanced diet.
