Milk Shake Recipe
by Sandra Merville Hart
When the weather warms up, it’s time for ice cream and milk shakes, right?
I found this recipe for milk shakes that is easy to vary. If you have a blender, you can make this.
You will need:
2 scoops of your favorite ice cream for a single 16-ounce serving
¾ cup milk
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract OR 1 tablespoon of any syrup (your choice)
Ask your parents or another adult to help you make the milk shake.
I had chocolate truffle ice cream in my freezer so I made a chocolate truffle milk shake. Choose your ice cream.
Pour ¾ cup of milk into the blender. Add ice cream. Next, add the vanilla extract OR the syrup. I love the vanilla flavor so I chose the vanilla extract.
Replace blender lid and blend a few seconds or until desired consistency.
You can put a dollop of whipped cream on top if you like.
Also, there are many syrups that you could try instead—chocolate, caramel, peppermint, strawberry, or raspberry to name a few.
Enjoy!
