Strawberry Milkshake

Strawberry milk, especially the store-brought ones always awaken nostalgic feelings in me…I was a fussy-eater during my childhood and I just hated drinking hot milk with malt-based products!!…So, my dad used to get me packets of Digdaga or Al-Rawabi’s plain or flavored cold milk….Among the flavored ones, I loved strawberry...yum yum.... The taste of that strawberry milk still lingers in my mouth…it was truly delicious!! (memories are coming back, so I better stop the tale here)

Even now, I would go for a strawberry milkshake (if it’s available) every time we dine out…And if ever I buy strawberries at home, a milkshake with those is definite since even my kids too love it!!!


I know it is ridiculous to have a milkshake in a wine glass…Well, it was my son’s weird idea….*smiles*



Ingredients:
Recipe Source: CJ

Strawberry - 10-12
Chilled Milk - 1/2 cup
Strawberry essence - 1 tsp (optional)
Sugar - 4 tsp

Method:
  • Add the chilled milk, strawberries, essence (if you are using) and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth and frothy.
  • Transfer to a serving glass and serve immediately. 


Note: I used strawberry milk essence to give it a rosy color, but its completely optional...
