malts

Thick fountain drinks

Malts is the plural of malt, which refers to grain—usually barley—that has been soaked, germinated, and dried for use in brewing and distilling.

A malt is also short for a malted milkshake, made with malt powder: We stopped for malts after the movie.

As a verb, malts describes the process of converting grain: The brewery malts its own barley.
