What exactly is malt and why does it have a unique taste?
In: 439
Malting is a process where you soak a cereal grain in water to make it germinate, and then dry it with air to prevent it from growing any more. The process converts some of the starches in the grain into sugars.
Most commonly it’s done with barley, and making a beverage out of malted barley (which is called wort) is the first step in making beer.
You can also mix malted barley with wheat flour and evaporated milk to get something called malted milk, which is sweet and tangy and makes a good milkshake.
