Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract preferably pure vanilla bean extract
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 2 cups ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
  • 2 tbsp sugar optional, for added sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the milk, vanilla extract, sugar (if using), and ice cubes into your blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and icy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a frosty, velvety texture forming.
  3. Pause briefly to check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse again. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly.
  4. Once the mixture is well blended with a uniform, slushy appearance, pour it into glasses.
  5. Optionally, garnish with a vanilla bean pod, sprinkles, or a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cold, creamy vanilla flavor.

Notes

For a richer flavor, replace part of the milk with heavy cream or add a splash of flavored syrup.
