Milkshake
A milkshake, also called simply milkshake, is typically a simple hot drink made with ice cream, milk, and various sweetener or flavorings like butterscotch or caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, fruit sauce, or vanilla ice cream. In modern days, a milkshake is no longer just enjoyed at coffee houses and bars, but it is now commonly enjoyed in many different settings, including at home and in the office. There are many milkshake recipes that you can try.
If you want to try a milkshake at home, all you need is some kind of milkshake maker. There are a lot of milkshake machines that you can buy nowadays. However, you have to choose the right one to make your homemade milkshake the best. For example, you can choose from a hand-held or an electric milkshake maker. The difference between the two is based on how the milkshake is served. If you want to serve it on the rocks, an electric milkshake machine will be better than if you want to use the hands-on blender.
If you want to make your own milkshake by using strawberry or chocolate milk, you have to use high-quality ingredients so that your shake turns out tastier and richer. Usually, the ingredients used for milkshakes include milk, sugar, cocoa powder, yogurt, banana and ice cream. Some people prefer to replace yogurt and banana with yogurt and low-fat milk or half-and-half. If you substitute milk and yogurt with skim milk or 1% or skim milk, the chocolate will not melt. For instance, if you want to make a strawberry milkshake but replace half of the milk with strawberry juice, the chocolate will not melt.
Almost every milkshake has its own unique recipe, which may vary from place to place. If you want to drink a milkshake in London, the recipe may vary from one pub to another. However, you will still find the familiar ingredients such as milk, sugar, yogurt, banana and ice cream. However, you will also find variations such as adding sherbet or lemon to the milkshake. For instance, in Vienna, you will not find plain milkshake but frappes or chocolate milkshake.
In America, a milkshake is associated with ice cream and bananas. However, in other places, a milkshake is made without using ice cream and milk. For example, in Canada, you will not find chocolate or strawberry. Instead, the drink is made with cottage cheese.
A milkshake can be of two types, thin and thick. If you want to enjoy a thick milkshake, pour milk in small glasses. The milkshake will thicken as it sits on a glass. If you want to enjoy a thin milkshake with ice cream, pour the milk into small glasses. When the milkshake has cooled down, it will become a thin milkshake.
Rhode Island is one place that has its own type of milkshake. In Providence, you will not find a traditional cream or milk milkshake. Instead, the drink is known as a clconway. Conway means "thick" in English. A Rhode Island Thickshake has beaten many of its competitors, including the Zamboni, in popularity.
An alternative to drinking milk or ice cream while having your milkshake is to enjoy the drink with apple sauce. To make this a successful combination, you will need about one-fourth cup of apple sauce. The sauce can be prepared in advance and frozen. When you are ready to serve, mix about two tablespoons of the frozen sauce with about three to four ounces of milk in a shaker. Then shake and stir this mixture until the cream and ice cream are thoroughly mixed into the drink.
