Malt sweetens and enhances the fruit flavour for a more mellow berry tartness (rather than the instant sweetness achieved by simply adding sugar). Malt also provides a more appealing, rich colour.
When malt is mentioned in conjunction with beverages, most people will think of beer, whisky or hot malted milk drinks. Yet malt can bring a range of benefits to many other drinks. Take a simple fruit punch where malt extract will introduce a subtle sweetness and act as a natural flavour enhancer, boosting the intensity of the fruit whilst reducing their acidity and improving mouthfeel.
