As a child, my favorite hot beverage was ovaltine. That drink tasted heavenly - and it still does. The problem is that I don't see it around anymore. If I could I would happily substitute ovaltine for any of the hot beverages I currently consume - including coffee.
What was your favorite hot drink when you were a child?

Hot chocolate, yummy! But now I would avoid them as I'm sure they contained a lot of sugar.

@Kandae11 Hopefully, I could find some with healthy ingredients. I'm sure they might have them in a health food store.

Kool-Aid because I was cool like that and where do you think the saying came from, must have been drinking the Kool-Aid again.

@Kandae11 That's true the taste seem to change, Maybe they change the formulation. I prefer it over milo when I was a kid too but now milo improves and taste better now

I loved Ovaltine! When I was little, it sponsored a a radio show called Captain Midnight. I even got a Captain Midnight Ovaltine mug and decoder ring. I wish I still had it.
