Horlicks is a malted milk drink that is popular in many countries, especially in India and the United Kingdom. It is made from a blend of malted barley, wheat flour, and milk solids, providing a rich source of carbohydrates and proteins. Horlicks is often consumed as a warm beverage, typically before bedtime, and is known for its comforting taste. Originally developed in the late 19th century by William Horlick and his brother, Horlicks was initially marketed as a nutritional supplement for infants and invalids. Over the years, it has evolved into a popular drink for people of all ages, often promoted for its health benefits, including aiding digestion and promoting better sleep.
