difference between a malt and a shake
Malts are not as common as they used to be; many places that serve milk shakes don't even offer malts anymore. A milkshake is made with milk and ice cream, along with flavorings such as chocolate syrup for chocolate, etc. A malt is basically the same thing, but with a sweet, liquid malt syrup added. The malt gives the shake a distinctive flavor, which is actually quite good, and can be added to any flavor milk shake.
