Fresh Strawberry Milkshakes

My brother-in-law loves strawberry milkshakes. So, I decided to make him a real one for his Spring Break visit last week. This is a recipe from Emeril Lagasse. It makes 2 servings. I doubled the recipe and it served 5 adults. I think it would be fun to play with the extracts and perhaps make it an adult milkshake with some liquor!

Place the strawberries and their juice, ice cream, and milk in a blender and blend until smooth.
