About Vanilla Milkshake

Vanilla Milkshake is so easy and quick to make. Just blend the ingredients together to get a creamy shake but the proportions are really important to get the perfect tasting milkshake just like in cafe or restaurant. The subtle sweetness, creamy texture and mild vanilla flavor makes this shake refreshing and tastes delicious.

Vanilla Milkshake is just made with 4 basic ingredients which includes cold milk, vanilla ice cream, sugar and vanilla essence. Indian style Vanilla Milkshake is just perfect for get together or kids parties. Ice cream is added to make the shake rich and more creamy, alternatively you can add frozen milk too.

This Vanilla milkshake has a pleasantly rich sweet taste as it combines ice cream and milk. Vanilla is the basic flavor, it is one of the popular among other flavors too. So it is obvious that Vanilla Milkshake though simple gains much attention and popularity among other shakes.

This can be just had with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. As we are adding ice cream while blending the shake, I prefer whipped cream topping along with sprinkles looks and feels tempting.

Vanilla Milkshake - 2 ways

• Vanilla Milkshake with icecream - This is a classic combination of just blending chilled milk along with sugar , vanilla icecream and vanilla essence.
• Vanilla Milkshake without icecream - This is slightly a low fat version replacing icecream. Freeze 2 cups of milk overnight until fully frozen then add it along with milk, vanilla essence a little more of sugar and blend until thick and creamy.

Vanilla Milkshake Ingredients

• Milk - Use full fat milk especially for milkshakes to get creamy smooth shake just as in restaurants. Boil cool down then chill the milk.
• Ice cream - I have used vanilla icecream here. If you do not want to use icecream then freeze 2 cups milk and add it while blending replacing icecream.
• Vanilla extract - Though we use vanilla ice cream I use a dash of vanilla extract or essence to get the punch. I have used homemade vanilla extract. But if you don't have vanilla essence then just skip it and use just vanilla ice cream.
• Sugar - Though sugar is optional I love to add it to lift the sweetness.

About Nutella Milkshake

Nutella Milkshake is a drink made with Nutella spread, milk, little sugar and sometimes cocoa powder. You can even add cookies or cornflakes for extra texture and crunch. Nutella is made with hazelnuts and chocolate, so when blended with milk it turns into smooth and frothy milkshake. It is popular in recent years because Nutella is favorite among kids and adults.

This milkshake has a creamy and bit thick consistency. You can make it more frothy if blended for longer. You can add cornflakes or wheat flakes for crunch, some add fruits like banana or apple to make it even more wholesome and filling. Either ways it is tasty and chocolaty.

• Nutella - I just added Nutella spread, it gives strong chocolate hazelnut flavor. You can add little more if you want it more sweet and thick shake.

 Mango season is almost coming to a close as Neelam variety of Mango has now landed in the markets . It is said that when the Neelam variety Mango shows up,it means the Mango season is almost over .

Summer is the time to rejoice delicious and juicy mangoes and jackfruit along with the other seasonal summer fruits.  

Mango is a fruit loved by one and all and there will hardly be any haters for Mango.  In the recent years , I am seeing a surge in restaurants hosting a Mango Meal special with a wide menu of 18 to 20 items made from ripe mango as well as raw mangoes .

Vegan Mango shake was on my mind ever since I made the Mango coconut Barfi in the microwave, and it became a super hit with my friends and family .

This year, I was determined to make and blog this vegan Mango shake before the season  ends . As always, I have used the Aaapus variety but Badami or Imampasand variety also give a nice taste. 

Store bought coconut milk can be used or home pressed fresh coconut milk. You can add sugar based on the sweetness from the mango . Most of the times,  sugar isn't needed as the Alphonso or Badami mangoes are very sweet. 

Adding a pinch of cardamom powder and saffron strands is my personal liking as it gives a nice refreshing taste to the mango shake .

Red wine has most of the health benefits, like it is good for the skin, prevents from aging, consumption in moderation reduce risk of type 2 diabetes in women. Also it has many antioxidants.

Wine making is a very easy process where in yeast gets combined with grape juice and sugar and converts sugar into alcohol. While it is fun to make wine at home, please make sure that you consume it in moderation at your risk. Consumption of wine in moderation is good due to its health benefits like it prevents aging, glows the skin, and controls diabetes upto some extent. Of course this is not me talking but did some research and noted it down .

Before making any wine, we should always make sure that everything like containers, bottles, spatulas are well sterilised. Sterilisation can be made by pouring hot boiling water into the jars and bottles and keeping for 10-15 minutes and then pouring it out. Also, before making wine, make sure that the bottles, containers and properly dried up. Never use metal containers to store wine. Use either glass or plastic. Also, the spatula used to mix should be wooden.

Enough of the talks , now lets get down to see the ingredients and the process of making wine.

Preparation Time including fermentation time: 1 month Aprox

Quantity :4-5 litres

Ingredients : 

2 Kg good quality black grapes

750 Grams sugar

50 Grams wheat 

50 Grams Rice

150 Ml beetroot juice

5 Grams( 1 Teaspoon) Yeast

3-4 Green Cardamoms

1 Stick Cinnamon

4-5 Cloves

2 Litres Water

Method:

First sterilise 4 litre airtight container where we will keep our wine for fermentation. Note that this container cannot be of metal. Use either glass or plastic with airtight cover. For sterilisation, wash the container with plain water first , then add hot boiling water upto rim , close the container and keep for 10-15 minutes. After 15 minutes throw away water, wipe it properly , keep under the fan so that there isn’t a drop of moisture inside.

Separate out grapes from stems and wash thoroughly 2-3 times with clean water. Wash beetroot the same way.

Keep them immersed in warm water with little salt in it. Keep for around 20 minutes.

Drain them and keep them drying under fan . Place some newspaper or cotton cloth underneath and spread over it. Remove out bad grapes(soft and soggy ones).

Boil the water and switch off the heat. Add sugar ( keep around a teaspoon for activating the yeast ). Keep stirring till sugar gets dissolved .

Prepare beetroot juice . First peel them , grate them and add in hot boiling water(around 200ml). Switch off the heat and allow to settle for 10-15 minutes. Then strain the juice.

Allow sugar syrup and beetroot juice to cool down completely.

Keep yeast to activate. Take around 50 ml warm water,  sugar( we had kept around a spoon aside) and 5 grams yeast. Mix and keep for 5-10 minutes. The yeast will bubble up . 

Once all the grapes are completely dry, take them in a big pot and crush them using hands or any crusher. Don’t grind in the mixer. This generates heat.

Add crushed grapes in sterilised container along with beetroot juice, wheat, rice , Sugar syrup ,spices and activated yeast.

Stir everything really well , close the container tightly. If you have airlock container, then press airlock knob like I have done or else, tie a towel or some thick cloth on the lid making Sure our container is fully sealed. Keep in some cool and dark place.

Now every alternate days, this container has to be opened and the juice has to be mixed well with a dry wooden spatula(don’t use metal spatula). Don’t worry if you see the mixture bubbling up. It means the fermentation is under process. 

The bubbling will stop after a few days . Till then keep mixing every alternate days and keep the container airtight after each stir.

The wine gets formed after around 20-25 days. 

Now take a clean muslin cloth and strain the wine in a plastic or glass container . The containers should be dry and airtight.

Throw away the waste(remains of grapes etc). Seal this container using some cloth or plastic wrap, tightly close the lid and keep for more 20 days.

After 20 days, strain again with muslin cloth in a sterilised Bowl and using a funnel fill the bottles. Enjoy.. Tastes better if chilled..
