Malted milk was originally manufactured as an artificial infant food. It became better known in the USA as the basis for malted milkshakes, which were invented in 1922 by a soda jerk at a Walgreens drug store in Chicago. Today, malted milk is found in a variety of foods, including a chocolate candy confection known as malted milk balls, and malted waffles and pancakes.
