To make a basic milkshake, blend 2 to 3 scoops of your favorite ice cream with 1/2 to 1 cup of milk until smooth and thick. Pour into a glass and optionally top with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry. For creamier milkshakes, use whole milk and high-quality ice cream. You can also add mix-ins like fruit, chocolate syrup, malt powder, or cookies to customize the flavor.
