As a life long Milo drinker, I pour half a cup of milk first, then add the Milo and stir vigorously, then add the rest of the milk. This stops the Milo clumping at the bottom of the glass or sitting of top of the milk and not dissolving. Nesquik is much more soluble than Milo, so it doesn’t really matter as long as you give it a good stir.

The answer is almost always powder first, especially if you\’re an instant coffee drinker (I have no shame). The reason is simple physics, when you pour a comparitavely large volume of liquid into a container with a small amount of powder, you cause a lot of turbulence and the mixture essentially stirs itself, rendering a spoon unnecessary. Maybe Nesquik is not soluble enough to take advantage of this effect though, if you’re going to crack out a spoon anyway then it really makes no difference.

I go one step furthur when it comes to instant coffee, I first add a little splash of water to the powder to just dissolve it, then I add the milk – I can get the colour right because the amount of coffee is going to remain constant – then I add the rest of the water, thereby stiring the whole lot together. Yes, my life is even more interesting than Bruce Jefferies’.

With Nesquik it doesn’t really make much difference as it is designed to disperse evenly. However, when I make it, because I also often make cocoa, I tend to make it in the same way, i.e. mix the powder to a paste with a little of the milk, then gradually add the rest. Isn’t my life interesting.
