Milka Shake (Iceland) By @Cinabar

Today wasn’t the ideal weather for a milkshake. Summer has passed, and we’re now into heavy rain and thunderstorms. The temperature is muggy, but I still fancied trying this Milka Shake to cool off. When I got it home, I noticed the instructions on the lid were simple enough; shake, open, drink, but they also mentioned you could microwave it for one minute and have it as a hot chocolate. I really liked that idea. There should be more drinks you can just zap and enjoy hot; I’d be all for that.

 

I’d already decided to have it cold, so I gave it a gentle shake, opened it, and it looked quite nice with a layer of bubbles on top.

Before I get to the taste, I need to add my Milka disclaimer. I love Milka chocolate, it's my absolute favourite. While I enjoy most chocolate, Milka is always my first choice, so I know its taste inside out.

I took a sip, and it was pleasant, nicely chocolatey, but very sweet. I could also pick up on the distinctive flavour you get with ultra heat-treated milk. What was missing for me was that familiar, slightly nutty Milka taste. The extra sweetness meant it didn’t quite hit the mark as a Milka drink. It’s a perfectly nice sweet chocolate milkshake, just not quite what I was hoping for.
