04 - Pour evenly into two tall glasses and top with whipped cream if using. Serve immediately while cold

01 -

Takes five minutes from start to that first blissful sip, perfect for sudden heatwave cravings
Costs a fraction of what you'd pay at a coffee shop, and you can customize it exactly how you like

02 -

Blending time matters more than you'd think too short and you'll get ice chunks, too long and it starts to thin out from the friction heat
The vanilla bean ice cream is non negotiable for that authentic taste, regular ice cream just doesn't give you the same depth

03 -

Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring, it keeps the drink colder longer
If it separates while sitting, just give it a quick stir and it'll come right back together
