If you grew up in Australia in the 90s or 2000s, chances are Milo was a childhood staple.

But how many scoops of Milo is too many?

According to the global brand, it’s suggested you only need to add three-heaped teaspoons to a glass of hot or cold milk.

However, Queensland swimwear designer Karina Irby has taken it to another level after she made a drink with seven-and-a-half generous scoops of the iconic malt powder.

“I’m going to show you how I like to make a Milo. Trigger warning,” Karina said, laughing.

“Step one, get the biggest spoon you have, boil the kettle but only for a few seconds — very important.”

Karina added three-and-a-half generous scoops of Milo to her empty glass.

She then poured a “little pinch” of water from the kettle.

Using a “baby” teaspoon, she gave the mixture a “good stir up” to create a paste texture.

Next she poured cold milk to the glass, with Karina saying she preferred oat milk.

“Pour the milk into your glass but not to the top because I am going to use my secret weapon to blend it all up,” she said.

Karina used a battery-operated handheld milk frother to stir the Milo thoroughly.

She then took a second glass and added another two generous scoops of Milo.

“I like to add Milo to the bottom of the (new) glass because I like to find crunchies at the bottom, it’s like a little surprise,” Karina explained.

With the dried Milo sitting at the bottom of the second glass, she poured the “body of the Milo” in.

“We’re gonna hope the dried Milo will stay nice and flat — but if it doesn’t work, that’s fine too,” she said, explaining that you want the dried Milo to be “stuck at the bottom”.

“So later when I tap it with my spoon, it’ll float up,” she said.

As she poured the milk concoction in, Karina said: “I’m salivating.”

She then added extra milk to the top.

For the “grand finale,” she added another two generous scoops of “crunchies” on top.

“In Australia, it’s basically illegal to buy a tin of Milo and not put crunchies (dried Milo) on top,” she said.

“Perfect. She is heavenly... I am shaking because I am that excited.”

However, Karina quickly pointed out she hadn’t purchased Milo for five years so the drink was a treat.

“This is how I used to make it,” she explained.

Karina’s video received more than 120,000 views — with many divided.

“Too much Milo,” said one.

“Water in Milo? Are you crazy?” Asked a second.

“I swear I must be the only Aussie who doesn’t like Milo,” said a third.

However, some praised Karina’s Milo drink.

“Hell yes,” said one.

“No such thing as too much Milo,” added another.

“Yum, this is making me crave a Milo,” said a third.
