Common Problems and Solutions

Q: Why is my milkshake too thick to blend?

A: Add a bit more milk (a few tablespoons at a time) and blend again. The consistency depends on how hard your ice cream is - softer ice cream blends more easily.

Q: Can I make this without malted milk powder?

A: Yes, you can leave it out - the shake will still be delicious. The malted milk adds a subtle malt shop flavor, but it's not essential.

Tips and Techniques

For an extra thick and frosty shake, freeze your glasses for 15-20 minutes before serving. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder along with the other ingredients.
