Answers:
The short answer is that malt is sugar made from barley!. It's mostly used to make beer and whiskey but it's also added sometimes to chocolate milk shakes!. It has a nice flavor!. It is sold in liquid form for home beer brewers which is something like a light molasses, or in powder form for making malted milkshakes which is like a very light brown sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Malting is a process applied to cereal grains, in which the grains are made to germinate by soaking in water and are then quickly halted from germinating further by drying/heating with hot air!. Malting is thus a combination of two processes; namely the sprouting process and the kiln-drying process!. These latter terms are often preferred when referring to the field of brewing for batches of beer or other beverages as they provide more in-depth information!.

The term "malt" refers to several products of the process:

* the grains to which this process has been applied, for example malted barley;
* the sugar, heavy in maltose, derived from such grains, such as the baker's malt used in cereals like Shreddies; or
* a product based on malted milk, similar to a malted milkshake (i!.e!., "malts")!.

Whisky or beer can also be called malt,Www@FoodAQ@Com

Malted milk is a powdered food product made from a mixture of malted barley, wheat flour, and whole milk, which are evaporated until it forms a powder!.
