A Milkshake, or simply shake, is a drink that is usually made by blending milk, ice cream and flavoring or sweeteners such as butterscotch, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, fruit syrup or whole fruit into a thick, sweet, cold mixture.

The surprising history of the milkshake. The term milkshake first appeared in print in 1885 and at the point it  referred to an adult drink containing eggs and whiskey. But by the early 1900s, a milkshake had come to mean a drink made with ice cream and chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrup. Milkshake got their name from being served in bars. if the customer enjoy the milkshake, he shook hands with the bartender.

Be sure to let your ice cream soften before scooping. if it's too hard, you might end up having to add more milk, which thins the shake. Test kitchen tip: For an ultra rich shake, use whole milk or milk with a little half and half cream. but never use heavy cream.
