A childhood recipe that I still make today.


        I occasionally experience sudden low sugar blood levels. My hands would tremble, I would feel hungry and break into cold sweat. It’s usually because I didn’t eat enough or because my body has a high metabolism so it digests fast. When I do get low sugar blood levels, preferentially I would like to eat something sweet since that works best for immediate effects and only afterwards would I eat a proper meal.

        Since I was young to remedy this I would make this weird half dissolved and half not dissolved Milo. The recipe consists of double the normal Milo powder you would usually use in a glass and cold water. Since I used cold water, the Milo only partially dissolves creating chunks of floating Milo powder at the top and the water turns into a light Milo. I would eat the chunks while drinking the light Milo. I’m not sure why I decided to make this instead of making a normal Milo but I think my justification at the time was that I wanted something sweet fast. Thus what is known in my household as the ‘lazy Milo’ was born.

        The habit stuck and to  this day I still make it even when I don’t have low blood sugar levels. My brother likes it too for some reason. My father too but my mother would go “eew” before drinking it regardless. I don’t make it for them exclusively, since whenever they ask me to make Milo I would just make regular Milo but they steal in sips whenever I’m drinking my weird Milo. Except my brother though he has asked for the ‘lazy Milo’ specifically.
