What each ingredient does

Malted food
Provides the malt flavour and sweetness that give the drink its characteristic taste.
Milk
Forms the liquid base and carries the malted flavour through the drink.

The step that matters

Adding the paste to the hot milk. Stirring the paste in gradually while stirring continuously keeps it dispersed evenly, so lumps do not form. Adding it all at once can leave clumps of malted food that stay undissolved in the drink.
