Making a milkshake with ice cubes can be a slightly different process than using pre-frozen ice cream. Here's a simple recipe for making a milkshake using ice cubes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 cups of ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: flavored syrups, fruits, or chocolate for additional flavorings
Instructions:
- Start by pouring the milk into a blender.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender. The ice cubes will serve as the primary source of coldness and help create a frosty texture.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the blender. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your personal preference for sweetness.
- If desired, you can add any additional flavorings such as flavored syrups, fruits, or chocolate to enhance the taste of your milkshake.
- Place the lid securely on the blender and blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This usually takes a few minutes, but the exact duration may vary depending on the power of your blender.
- Once the milkshake reaches your desired consistency, stop blending and pour it into a glass.
- Optionally, you can garnish the milkshake with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a cherry on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade milkshake!
Note: If you find that the milkshake is too thick, you can add a little more milk and blend it again until you achieve the desired consistency. Conversely, if the milkshake is too thin, you can add a few more ice cubes and blend it briefly to thicken it up.
