Forget the smoothies, granitas, cool lattes, and other frozen imitators—there’s nothing that satisfies your sweet tooth like a good old-fashioned milkshake.
You Will Need
- Ice cream
- Ice cream scoop
- Blender
- 1-2 tbsp. flavored syrup
- 1/2 c. milk
- Large glass
- Straw
- Hot water (optional)
- Fruit (optional)
Step 1: Scoop in ice cream
Scoop your ice cream into the blender—you’ll need four full scoops.
If you have trouble dipping into hard ice cream, run your scoop under hot water to heat it up between scoops.
Step 2: Pour in syrup and milk
Pour the syrup and milk into the blender.
Add complementary fruit to your shake, like real strawberries to strawberry ice cream, or bananas to chocolate ice cream.
Step 3: Blend
Put the top on the blender, and blend on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Pour
Pour the milkshake into a large glass.
If you added fruit to your shake, garnish the glass by hanging a piece on the rim.
Step 5: Drink
Drop in the straw, take your first big slurp. Then raise your glass to old-school ice cream drinks!
In soda fountain parlance, a Black & White is a milkshake made with chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream.
