A milkshake is a cold and blended dairy-based beverage prepared using milk, ice-creams, flavoring syrups and sugars. It is available in a wide variety of flavors, such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Various toppings, including sweetened dry cereal, toasted coconut, marshmallows, biscuits, fresh fruits, cinnamon, clove and dry cakes, are added to enhance the flavor of the beverage. Certain cafes and restaurants also offer savory variants prepared using olive oil, sesame seeds and sea salt. Thick milkshakes are usually prepared using commercial milkshake machines in professional kitchens, which have specialized settings for blending speed to adjust the consistency of the shake. They are commonly served in bottles, pouches and cartons.
