Margaret, When I was growing up, my dad employed me as a "Soda Jerk" in his Drug Store/Soda Fountain. I must have made a million milkshakes/malts. The "Ice Cream" part of a milkshake was actually something called malt base. We got it delivered from the same supplier that we got our regular dipping ice cream. Malt base looks a lot like vanilla ice cream but has a slightly different texture without much flavor. To make a milkshake I would take the metal milkshake container, add flavored syrup, malt base, and whole milk then attach it to the trusty Hamilton Beach milkshake blender (I still have this blender and a couple of the metal milkshake containers). When blended, pour into a large glass. To make a malt I just added some malt powder to the above mixture. -Doug Reed (still making milkshakes in my sleep) -Boulder, CO --- Margaret Lauterbach <melauter@earthlink.net> wrote: > What do they contain then? > > At 10:09 AM 7/11/01 -0700, you wrote: > > >--- Margaret Lauterbach <melauter@earthlink.net> > >wrote: > > > Whoa!
