How To Make A Killer Shake - Got Milk?

How to make a killer milkshake? It’s easier than you may have thought, just make sure you use fresh ingredients, keep it simple - or maybe just little bit fancy - and you’re set.

What you need to make 2 large strawberry milkshakes:

2 cups of strawberry ice cream

250g of fresh strawberries or according to preference, some to garnish

2 tbsp of white sugar or to taste

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1 cup of cold milk

To get the best result, do your utmost to use pure and additive-free ingredients. Ice cream can not just be rich in sugar, but also filled to the brim with artificial colors and flavors. Add sugar according to your preference but do try and not kill the fresh strawberry flavor. Following these simple guidelines should give you a perfect milkshake!

What to do:

Wash and de-stalk the berries.

Sprinkle the sugar over them and stir in the vanilla extract.

Freeze the strawberries for about an hour.

When the berries have frozen solid, pull them out.

With a cup of milk blend the berries as long as it takes to get a smooth mixture.

Stop the blender for a moment and add in the ice cream - mix it in by hand at first, then blend the whole thing thoroughly.

Tip: if you prefer a thicker milkshake, cut down on the milk!

Now, If you are not a strawberry kind of person - making the classic chocolate shake is easy-breezy:

Replace strawberry ice cream with chocolate ice cream

Dump the berries and sweeteners - grab some chocolate syrup instead and add it to the mixture according to taste.

Blend the ice cream, syrup and milk until smooth and enjoy!

You don’t have to give up your milkshake indulgence when traveling through Sydney Airport - just pop into Trattoria Prego and take advantage of the $6 milkshake offer - pick your favorite from chocolate, caramel, vanilla or strawberry flavors and travel happy!

Sydney International Airport proclaimed “Delicious”.

Sydney International Airport  was awarded awarded the world’s best airport food and beverage operator at the inaugural Airport Food & Beverage Awards in January 2011.

Sydney International Airport claimed top honors winning best overall airport food and beverage offer (10-25 million passengers).  

With over 20 eateries before Customs ideal for those wanting to spend time with friends and family before setting off on their adventure; the airport also has on offer world class eateries after Customs that provide the perfect place to relax and treat yourself to a gourmet meal ahead of a long journey. 

For those looking for an alternative to airline food, there is also an array of appetizing ‘grab & go’ options to enjoy at the gate on on the long haul flights.

You can satisfy a craving for Japanese at Itacho Sushi or Asakaze, enjoy yum cha at China Grand Restaurant, treat yourself at Silk Road or Sahara Grill; feast on authentic Italian at Rossini’s or Trattoria Prego or discover some of Sydney’s favourite drinking and dining establishments including Danks Street Depot and Bambini Wine Room.

The airport also offers a plethora of choice as it relates to personal budgets and palates. Families gravitate towards the open air kitchen, intimate seating and sharing options (think pizza) at Trattoria Prego whilst the urbane sophisticate can often been seen grazing on the freshest and finest seafood at the Caviar House & Prunier.

Mentionables: Before Customs …

Danks Street Depot – One of Sydney’s premium dining and drinking establishments, practicing sustainable and ethical principles in sourcing raw ingredients to create delicious and nutritious cuisine. (kid friendly) 

Montreux Jazz Café – offers customers a chance to immerse themselves in the exciting world of the Montreux Jazz Festival while enjoying breakfast, lunch, dinner or coffee. (Popular with local airport staff and renown for the breakfast buffet and the BB King Burger - a great value at around $12!)

After Customs …

Seafood Bar - Caviar House & Prunier -This internationally renown restaurant opened its doors for the first time in Australia at Sydney Airport, serving the best seafood the world has to offer. (Fine Caviar is available and can be packed for long haul flights and make perfect gifts)

Trattoria Prego – A classic Italian venue offering classic Italian flare including an extensive eat in menu and mouth watering deli options and the freshest display case of salads, sandwiches and pastries. (Intimate seating, free wifi, power jack at tables)

Itacho Sushi Bar – Itacho is the only full service authentic place to get made to order sushi and sashimi. The chefs are Japanese, and the menu offers hot and cold dishes, nigiri and tempura. (TIP: If you are in a hurry, grab a few Bento Boxes from the cases - they are made fresh on-site and will give you something manageable to eat on the plane or at the gate.)

Bambini Wine Room – The Bambini Wine Room continues its tradition of delighting discerning Sydneysiders with great food and award winning wines. Try one of the special Australian wines on offer and the ambiance. Convenient are the power-jacks, banquette seating and free wifi spots. Good for coffee and meals.

Godiva – one of the world’s leading luxury chocolatiers offering deliciously sweet hand made treats including sublime hot chocolate. (everyone loves Chocolate!)

Running to Gate 32

“Attention please, would Ms J Smith please report to gate 32 immediately as your Air New Zealand flight, ANZ87, has completed boarding and is about to depart.”

The announcement has your heart racing and your mind cursing the cheap wheelie carry-on bag you bought in Hong Kong because all of a sudden, when you need them most, the wheels don’t work. Praying you are heading in the right direction towards gate 32 you rue the choice of heels for a long haul flight. All you can do is plead with the gods of flight: “Wait, please don’t leave without me.”


These scenarios never have a happy ending, do they? You arrive to gate 32 with just enough time to see the aircrew heading down the tunnel while you remain helpless on the wrong side of the glass doors. You slowly resign yourself to the sad fate of having to spend the night in an airport hotel and live off greasy, luke-warm and ridiculously expensive room service for the next 24 hours. Well buck up traveller because we have some good news for you. Forget the room service, in Sydney International Airport we have a seriously good selection of quality dining opportunities that will make the wait for your next flight much more pleasant

Take the edge off missing the flight with some lunch at Caviar House. Indulge in their  melt-in-the-mouth salmon gravlax.

Stoll over to Trattoria Prego to recharge your laptop battery with their power outlets, use their  free wifi and grab some of Nonna’s Italian meatballs for dinner.

Head back to the hotel but don’t order room service as we have breakfast covered here at Danks Street Depot. Try the best eggs Sydney has to offer and get the poached eggs with silverbeet hash.

We keep food fresh at Sydney International Airport so you fly fresh.

Love it or Leave it?

We have it on good authority that seafood and veggies are good to have before a flight. It’s recommended that you have a small, light and warm meal before you departing and this bowl of goodness is just one of the fantastic options on the menu at Trattoria Prego - Sydney International Airport’s only clay oven al fresco eatery.

With all the nutrients from the veggies and the fact that seafood contains omega 3 and loads of protein, we think that a visit to Trattoria Prego is a must before your long haul flight!
