Forget the smoothies, granitas, cool lattes, and other frozen imitators—there’s nothing that satisfies your sweet tooth like a good old-fashioned milkshake.

Step 1: Scoop in ice cream
Scoop your ice cream into the blender--you’ll need four full scoops.

Tip
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.

Tip
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.

Tip
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!
