How to make a milkshake at home
Classical milkshake must consist of two mandatory components - milk and ice cream. To prepare a cocktail, milk must be cooled to a temperature of +6 degrees. Milk made from too cold is good, and most importantly - delicious cocktail will not work. The cocktail should be shaken high speed in a blender or using a mixer until thick foam forms. If you decide to add fruit, berries or ice to the cocktail, before serving it must be strained through a strainer to remove seeds, pieces of ice and fruit. Immediately after preparation, milkshakes are poured into tall glasses and served with a straw.
In addition to milk, the base can be kefir, yogurt or cream. You can add fruits, berries, fruit juices and syrups, coffee, chocolate, alcoholic drinks. If you watch your figure and stick to dietary nutrition, you can prepare a low-calorie cocktail based on low-fat kefir or skim milk with fruit juice and pieces of unsweetened fruit - apple, kiwi, strawberry. And here full fat milk and yogurt, sour cream, cream, chocolate, nuts and coconut flakes will have to be excluded.
Classic milkshake with ice cream
Take 250 g of creamy ice cream and 1 liter of milk. Beat in a blender until a thick foam forms and serve immediately after cooking. By the way, the amount of milk may vary depending on your individual preferences. If you like to easily and naturally sip a cocktail through a straw, then you can take more milk, one and a half liters per 250 g of ice cream. If you like thick and high-calorie cocktails a la McDonalds, then the amount of milk should be reduced.

- cream - to add fat and thickness to the drink;
- crushed ice - to make the drink even cooler and more refreshing;

To make a milkshake especially tasty and healthy, you need to choose the right ingredients for it. Basic requirements for components homemade cocktail and milk:
- Ice cream - the fattier it is, the creamier it is and more natural taste product, the tastier and thicker the cocktail will be.
