It feels like a summery treat. I'm quite particular about them though. The milkshake has to be thick and it has to have real flavours. I absolutely hate the fake flavoured milkshakes that you get in the fast-food chains. I love strawberry but synthetic strawberry flavour is revolting. The only thing...
