01 - Combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds or vanilla extract in a blender.

02 - Add ice cubes and blend on high speed until completely smooth and frothy.

01 -

Takes literally five minutes from start to that first chilly sip
The real vanilla bean specks floating through make it feel fancy without the effort
Cheaper than buying two fancy coffee drinks and you control the sweetness

02 -

The mixture thickens up quickly so serve immediately or it turns into vanilla soup
Over blending will make it melt faster from the heat of the blender motor
If your ice is too large, crush it slightly before adding to prevent straining your machine

03 -

Steep the vanilla bean seeds in the milk for 30 minutes beforehand for deeper flavor
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to turn it into a dessert rather than just a drink
