What each ingredient does

Peptogenic milk-powder
Supplies the dry milk solids that give the drink its body and sweetness.
Milk
Forms the liquid base that the powder dissolves into.
Cream
Adds fat, which gives a richer, smoother mouthfeel.

The step that matters

Stir until the powder is fully dissolved. Milk powder that is not fully dissolved forms lumps and leaves a grainy texture. Thorough stirring lets the powder disperse evenly through the liquid before the cream is added.
