01 -

It takes exactly five minutes from craving to first sip, which is dangerous knowledge to have.
The balance of sweet fruit and cold cream feels like a milkshake shop treat but costs a fraction of the price.

02 -

Frozen strawberries will give you a thicker, frostier shake, so freeze a batch when berries are in season and cheap.
A tiny splash of vanilla extract or a squeeze of lemon juice can wake up the flavor in a way that surprises people every time.

03 -

Hull the strawberries the night before and keep them in the fridge so you can blend on impulse without any prep work.
Buy the cheapest vanilla ice cream you can find from a brand with real vanilla in the ingredients, and it will taste richer than the premium tubs.
