Malted beverages are drinks made from grains that have been malted, which means they have been soaked in water, allowed to germinate, and then dried. This process develops enzymes that convert starches into sugars, giving the beverages their sweet flavor. Common grains used include barley, wheat, and corn. These beverages can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Examples of alcoholic malted beverages include beer and whiskey, while non-alcoholic options include malted milk and malt soda. The unique flavors and textures of malted beverages make them popular in various cultures around the world.
