As Kim Kardashian comes to Dubai to launch Millions of Milkshakes, we pitch the curve by getting self-confessed milk fanatic and author of Thoroughly Modern Milkshakes, Adam Reid, to tell you how to make your own milkshake.
Try the mocha-cardamom shake:
What you need
- 1/2 cup cold whole or low-fat milk (about 125ml)
- 2 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 4 medium scoops coffee ice-cream (340 grams), softened until just melty at the edges
- 4 medium scoops chocolate sorbet (about 340 grams), softened until just melty at the edges
Method
Put the milk, espresso powder and cardamom in a blender and mix thoroughly, about 15 seconds.
Add the ice-cream and sorbet and pulse several times to begin breaking them up. With the blender motor off, use a flexible spatula to mash the mixture down onto the blender blades. Continue pulsing, stopping, and mashing until the mixture is well blended, thick and moves easily in the blender jar, roughly 30 to 90 seconds.
Pour into a chilled glass or glasses, and serve at once.
