Horlicks

Malted milk powder

Horlicks is a malted milk powder mixed with hot water or milk to make a bedtime drink.

Originally British, it's associated with comfort and sleep.

To make a Horlicks of something is British slang for bungling it badly—a euphemistic alternative to stronger expressions: He made a complete Horlicks of the presentation.
