Method
Combine the 5 tablespoons of Milo powder and condensed milk in a tall glass.
Pour in the hot water and stir vigorously until the Milo and condensed milk are completely dissolved and no clumps remain.
Stir in the evaporated milk to add a signature kopitiam creaminess.
Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes. Stir once or twice to chill the liquid quickly.
Carefully heap the remaining 3 tablespoons of Milo powder on top of the ice. Do not stir; the powder should form a thick, dry mound on top.
Notes
For a 'Gao' (extra thick) version, reduce the water by 20ml and add an extra tablespoon of Milo to the base.
Ensure the water is hot but not boiling (around 80°C) to prevent the malt from tasting burnt.
Use a straw to drink the cold liquid while simultaneously eating the crunchy dry powder from the top.
The evaporated milk is the secret to that authentic, silky mouthfeel found in Singaporean stalls.
