Instruction manual
1
To make a homemade milkshake tasty, thick, with airy foam, the most important thing is to choose high-quality ice cream. Moreover, the fatter it is, the better the cocktail will break. And the fat content of milk, on the contrary, should not exceed 2.5%. In this case, the amount of ice cream should be taken no more than the amount of milk.
2
To give the cocktail new shades of taste, you can add fruit. An important nuance: their mass should be no more than 1/5 of the mass of milk. The selection of fruits should also be considered. Citrus fruits, for example, do not combine with milk at all. But berries - strawberries, currants, raspberries, as well as bananas and mangoes fit perfectly.
3
The next thing that directly affects the density of the dessert drink is the temperature of the milk, which should be as cold as possible. Indeed, when warm milk is combined with ice cream, the latter will quickly melt, and the cocktail will turn out to be quite liquid, and its taste will leave much to be desired.

Utensils and appliances also matter. It is best to beat a cocktail with either a mixer or a blender with a whisk attachment. But if you choose the second option, it is important that the dishes in which the ingredients will be placed are long and narrow.

- 300 g of milk;
