Collection: Ovaltine Drinks

Perfect for the cosy season, Ovaltine is a familiar favourite. The rich, malty taste conjures that nostalgic ‘hug in a mug’ feeling at any time of day.

The story began in Switzerland in 1904. A Swiss chemist, Dr Wander, created the drink while exploring the qualities of barley malt. Originally known as Ovomaltine, it arrived in the UK in 1909 under the shorter name we recognise today. Over the decades, its distinctive flavour and bright orange packaging have become familiar sights in homes across Britain.

Preparing a mug is simple. Add the powder to warm milk and stir until smooth. You can also serve it cold for a refreshing alternative. Always follow the instructions on the pack for the best results.

The range includes traditional malted recipes and richer chocolatey varieties. Whether you prefer the classic flavour or something sweeter, each one offers an easy way to pause and unwind.

Enjoy it with breakfast, during a quiet afternoon or as part of your evening routine to promote a restful sleep. More than 120 years after it first appeared, this much-loved drink continues to bring a little comfort to everyday moments.
