Best Pomegranate Milkshake Recipe

A milkshake, or simply shake, is a drink that is usually made by blending milk, ice cream, and flavorings or sweeteners such as butterscotch, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, fruit syrup, or whole fruit into a thick, sweet, cold mixture. (Pomegranate Milkshake Recipe)

Full-service restaurants, ice cream shops, soda fountains, and diners usually prepare the shake in a specialized mixer known as a milkshake machine. At home, a blender is more commonly used. Milkshakes may be made from any flavor of ice cream; additional flavorings, such as chocolate syrup, malt syrup, or malted milk powder, are often added prior to mixing.

Many fast food outlets do not make shakes from the individual ingredients; rather, they use automatic milkshake machines which freeze and serve a pre-made milkshake mixture consisting of milk, a sweetened flavoring agent, and a thickening agent. These are similar to soft-serve ice cream machines, but keep the shake at a drinkable consistency.

Ingredients

• 1 cup pomegranate seeds (1 medium-sized pomegranate)
• 2 cups chilled milk
• 2 tbsp sugar (or as per taste)

Instructions

Step 1

Cut the pomegranate and remove the seeds in a bowl. Discard the inner white membranes of the pomegranate.

Step 2

Place the pomegranate seeds in a blender and pulse it a few times to allow the juice to get released from the seeds. Don’t blend it too long otherwise the juice would turn bitter.

Step 3

Strain the juice and discard the seeds.

Step 4

Add milk and sugar to the extracted pomegranate juice and again blend it.

Step 5

Transfer the milkshake to serving glasses.

Step 6

Pomegranate milkshake is ready to be served.

Notes

For a healthier shake substitute sugar with honey according to taste. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to make it even more rich and creamy.
