Instructions

1

Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them in half if large.

Tip: The riper and redder the strawberries, the sweeter the milkshake will be.
2

Put everything in the blender: strawberries, milk, honey, vanilla, ice.

Tip: Always put liquid at the bottom (near the blades) to help catch the solid pieces (vortex effect).
3

Blend on high speed for at least 30-60 seconds.

Tip: It's ready when the color is a uniform pale pink and a thick foam forms on top from the aerated milk.
4

Taste, and if not sweet enough (depending on berry quality), add a bit more honey.

Tip: Taste perception is dulled by cold, so you might need to make it slightly sweeter than you think.
5

Pour into glasses and garnish with a halved strawberry on the rim.

Tip: Consume immediately before the foam collapses.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen strawberries?
Absolutely! That makes the drink even creamier and colder, like drinking ice cream. You'll need less ice in that case.
I'm lactose intolerant.
Make it with almond milk or coconut milk; both pair wonderfully with strawberry.
