If you like milkshakes, strawberry is the one most people come back to: fresh fruit against rich cream, and about as refreshing as a drink gets on a hot day.

## Ingredients

- 1 cup — fresh strawberries
- 2 cups — cold milk
- 2 tbsp — vanilla ice cream
- 1 tsp — sugar
- ½ tsp — vanilla

### To finish (optional)
- fresh strawberry pieces
- whipped cream
- chocolate or caramel sauce

## Method

1. **Prepare the strawberries** — If you're using fresh strawberries, wash them well and cut them into small pieces. Frozen strawberries can go straight in without thawing.
2. **Blend** — In a blender, combine the strawberries, cold milk, ice cream, sugar if you want it sweeter, and the vanilla. Blend on high for thirty seconds, or until smooth.
3. **Serve** — Pour into chilled glasses. Finish with whipped cream or fresh strawberry pieces.
4. **Enjoy** — Serve cold with a biscuit or a slice of cake on the side.

## Tips

- For a creamier shake, add more ice cream.
- If you like it sweeter, add more sugar or a spoon of honey.
- With fresh strawberries, a few ice cubes make it more refreshing.
- A handful of blueberries or frozen berries adds depth to the flavour.

## FAQ

### Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes — when fresh aren't available, frozen give exactly the same flavour.

### Can I add other ingredients?
Yes — chocolate, nuts or banana all work well.

### Can I reduce the sugar?
Of course. Cut it back, or swap it for honey or a sweetener.
