1.What is a Milkshake?

A milkshake is a sweet beverage made by blending milk, ice cream or frozen yogurt, sugar, and other flavorings. People often add fruits, chocolate, or nuts to enhance its flavor.

Milkshakes are known for their rich, smooth texture and sweet, satisfying taste. They make a delicious dessert or a perfect treat after a meal, providing a delightful sweet experience. Milkshakes are popular in many countries and regions.

3.Required Equipment:

Making a milkshake doesn’t require complex equipment. You’ll need:

A blender (or juicer)

A fruit knife

A glass


4.How to Make a Thick Milkshake:

The key to making a milkshake is the ratio of ice cream to milk. If you want your milkshake to be thicker, you can use heavy cream instead of milk to increase the thickness. Another important tip is to avoid adding ice! Ice cubes will melt and dilute the milkshake, affecting its consistency.

Additionally, you can add malt powder to create a thicker milkshake. Malt powder usually contains malted barley, wheat flour, and whole milk powder, which effectively turns your milkshake into a malted milkshake. Besides thickening the milkshake, the slight saltiness of malt powder can enhance certain flavors, especially chocolate and vanilla.


5.Milkshake Without Ice Cream:

Yes, you can still make a delicious milkshake without ice cream! Our recipe skips the ice cream entirely. Just blend milk, apples, and quinoa flakes until smooth and frothy. Even without the ice cream, this milkshake remains creamy and smooth, with a flavor that’s just as satisfying.


6.How to Store Homemade Milkshake:

Refrigeration: Pour the homemade milkshake into a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for 1-2 days, but for the best taste and freshness, it's recommended to consume it within 24 hours.

Freezing: To extend its shelf life, pour the milkshake into a sealed container and place it in the freezer. It can be stored for 1-2 months. Before drinking, let it slightly thaw and then stir well before serving.
