How to make the best milkshake

QUALITY COUNTS

When it comes to making the perfect milkshake, it’s really all in the ingredients you choose. Here, quality counts, so opt for a bottle of Gippsland Jersey Full cream or Light milk, a good quality ice-cream, and pure vanilla extract to ensure you get the taste you’re after. Our unhomogenised milk also makes a beautiful milkshake!

USE A BLENDER

Unless you have a designated milkshake maker, use your blender to ensure your milkshake is perfectly combined, and that the ice-cream is incorporated into the drink. If you don’t have a blender, your stick blender is your next best option, and can help you achieve those signature bubbles on top.

DRINK IT UP

Milkshakes are best as soon as they’re made, so make sure you drink it as soon as it’s ready.

4 large scoops vanilla ice-cream

2 cups milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

STEP 1

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth.

STEP 2

Pour the milkshake into two chilled glasses and serve immediately. Kids love a straw!
