Milkshake

A milkshake is a sweet beverage made by blending milk with ice cream and flavorings such as chocolate, vanilla or fruit syrup until thick and frothy. The drink evolved in the United States from earlier, thinner flavored milk drinks in the late nineteenth century into the thicker, ice-cream-based version familiar today once electric blenders and malted milk powder became widely available in the early twentieth century, popularized heavily through American soda fountains and diners. Milkshakes remain closely associated with American diner and fast food culture and are sold in an enormous range of flavors, with many countries and chains developing their own regional variations and toppings.
