# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- It transforms your favorite breakfast cereal into a sippable dessert that actually wakes you up
- The texture is perfectly creamy without being too heavy, thanks to the ice and milk balance
02 -
- Blending the cereal directly into the drink is what gives it that authentic flavor, but some people prefer straining it for a smoother texture
- The drink melts faster than you would expect, so have your glasses ready and serve it immediately after blending
03 -
- Toast your extra cereal garnish in a dry pan for 2 minutes to keep it crunchy longer
- Blend in a pinch of salt to enhance all the flavors and balance the sweetness
