Simple Vanilla Milk Shake


Refreshing vanilla milk shake made in a very short time, no fuss at all, with easily available items at home!


Ingredients:
  1. Chilled milk- 1 cup
  2. Milk powder- 1/2 cup
  3. Heavy cream- 2 teaspoon
  4. Sugar- 1/2 cup
  5. Vanilla essence- 1 1/2 teaspoon
  6. Crushed ice- 1 tablespoon
Method:
  1. Blend together all the ingredients in a mixer till smooth.
  2. Add more ice if required.
  3. Serve chilled!
Very refreshing and too demanding at home! Can add more milk powder if you require it to be more thicker, but for us this was very fine.
