What about making your own vanilla milkshake? it's super easy and so delicious on hot summer days. Using only four ingredients, which make a total of four milkshakes. Fun fact about milkshakes below:

Hand-blended milkshakes can be made from any flavor of ice cream; additional flavorings, such as chocolate syrup and/or malt syrup or malt powder, can be added prior to mixing. This allows a greater variety than is available in machine-made shakes. Some unusual milkshake recipes exclude ice cream Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkshake

Making a classic vanilla milkshake – 5 minutes

Grab your blender or milkshake machine, scoop in 4 cups of high-quality vanilla ice cream. The easiest way to scoop ice cream is to dip the large spoon in a bowl with hot water first.

You can use a cheaper brand of vanilla ice cream, but they usually contain way more sugar. You can reduce the amount of added sugar if you like, just taste it after blending. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 4 tablespoons of plain sugar and 2 cups of full-fat milk.

Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. That's all there is to it! serve in a tall glass with some fun and colourful straws, enjoy!
