When the temperature begins to soar high, a chilled glass of strawberry shake becomes the perfect treat to instantly refresh. Prepared with blended strawberries in milk, this drink is perfect for cooling down during hot summer days.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries 1½ cups chilled milk 2 tablespoons sugar or honey 3–4 ice cubes 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (optional) 2–3 fresh strawberries (for garnish)

Step 1

Take fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly, remove the green tops, and roughly chop them so that they can be mixed smoothly.

Step 2

Add the chopped strawberries to the blender along with chilled milk.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey for sweetness, as per preference. You can also adjust the quantity according to how sweet your strawberries are.

Step 4

Add 1 scoop vanilla ice cream, if available and 3 to 4 ice cubes. This will give the strawberry shake a thick, creamy texture.

Step 5

Blend everything until the mixture appears to be smooth, frothy, and you see a beautiful pink shade with a creamy consistency.

Step 6

Pour the strawberry shake into the glass, garnish with sliced strawberries, and serve for a refreshing summer drink.
