Ensure you have all the ingredients ready. Grab yourself a blender; this is where the magic happens!

Wash the ripe strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them in half. This helps release their natural juices, which will combine beautifully in the shake.

Add the sliced strawberries to the blender first. Then, scoop in the strawberry ice cream. The cold sweetness not only adds texture but also enhances the flavor. Now, it’s time for the liquid gold—pour in the milk. Adjust according to how thick you like your shake.

Next, sprinkle in the sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Don’t forget that lemon zest! It seems unconventional, but it really brightens the shake.

If you’re feeling adventurous, add the malted milk powder for that classic shake flavor. It’s an optional step but trust me, it’s worth it.

Pop the lid on your blender and blend until it’s all combined and smooth. It shouldn’t take long. You want that luscious shake consistency, not a smoothie!

Stop blending and take a little taste. It’s a chance to adjust the sweetness or thickness. If you want it sweeter, add a bit more honey.

Pour your shake into a tall glass. Add extra strawberries on top for that appealing look. Honestly, a shake this divine deserves to be showcased beautifully.
