Equipment

▢
Blender
▢
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

▢ 1 cup milk whole milk preferred for creaminess
▢ 1-2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 2 cups ice cubes crushed for finer texture if desired
▢ pinch of salt optional, enhances vanilla flavor

Instructions

Pour the milk into your blender, creating a smooth, liquid base.
Add sugar and vanilla extract to the milk, then blend for a few seconds until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant.
Drop in the ice cubes, filling the blender about two-thirds full for a good icy texture.
Secure the lid and blend on high for 30-45 seconds, listening for a frosty, slush-like sound as the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Check the consistency; it should hold a peak when you lift the blender’s lid. If too runny, add more ice and pulse briefly.
Pour the icy vanilla mixture into glasses, feeling the cold, creamy texture and seeing the pale, frosty appearance.
If desired, add a splash of vanilla or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the icy, vanilla-scented refreshment.

Notes

For a thicker slushie, pre-freeze the milk in a shallow dish for 30 minutes before blending. Adjust sweetness and vanilla to taste. Best enjoyed immediately for maximum frostiness.
