Making a coffee milkshake is super easy! Here’s how to do it:

1. Brew Your Coffee:
   Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. You can use a drip coffee maker, a French press, or even an espresso machine if you prefer. The key is to brew it strong, so the coffee flavor stands out in the milkshake. Let it cool to room temperature or pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the process.
2. Prepare Your Blender:
   In your blender, add 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. If you want a thicker milkshake, feel free to add an extra scoop or two of ice cream. The ice cream should be soft enough to blend, so if it’s been in the freezer for a while, let it sit out for a few minutes.
3. Add the Coffee:
   Pour your cooled coffee into the blender over the ice cream. If you prefer a less intense coffee flavor, you can add less coffee or mix in a little more milk.
4. Add Milk and Syrup:
   Pour in 1 cup of milk (adjust to your desired thickness). Add in 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate or coffee syrup for that extra layer of sweetness. Blend everything together until smooth. If the mixture seems too thick, add more milk to thin it out; if it’s too thin, add a little more ice cream.
5. Blend Until Smooth:
   Turn your blender on high and let it run for about 20-30 seconds, or until everything is fully combined and smooth. You want the milkshake to have a thick, creamy consistency without any lumps of ice cream left behind.
6. Taste and Adjust:
   Taste your milkshake and adjust the sweetness to your liking. If you like it sweeter, add a little more syrup or a spoonful of sugar. If it’s too sweet, add a splash more coffee to balance it out.
7. Serve:
   Pour your coffee milkshake into two tall glasses. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for a fancy touch. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
