Dessert drinks are a great way to treat yourself to a relaxing break in the afternoon.

When the temperature is at its highest and you're feeling tired and hungry from a day of work or study, an afternoon tea with a delicious dessert drink can provide the energy and stamina you need to finish the day strong.

One popular dessert drink is the chocolate milkshake. It's easy to make and perfect for chocolate lovers. To make a basic chocolate milkshake, you'll need:

240 ml of milk

2 tablespoons of chocolate

30 ml of syrup

30 ml of whipping cream

Here's how to make it:

Chill a deep-bottomed glass in the freezer (optional).

Soften the ice cream by leaving it out on the counter for 10 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of softened ice cream or frozen yogurt to a blender or milkshake maker, along with 60-240 ml of milk (depending on your preference for thickness).

Blend until smooth.

Pour into chilled glasses, and add more ice cream or milk if needed. Top with whipped cream and chocolate chips.

If you want to get creative, you can also add ingredients like Oreo cookies, chopped chocolate, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture. You can also add fruit or flavored syrups like maple or caramel for a unique twist.

Another great option for an afternoon tea dessert drink is tea. If you pair a salty tea like oolong or floral tea with dark chocolate, the chocolate will take on a light fruity flavor. Earl Grey tea is also a classic choice, and pairs well with orange sandwich cookies or lemon cake.

Another popular dessert drink is the smoothie. It's a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite fruits in a drinkable form. To make a basic smoothie, you'll need:

1 cup of your favorite fruits (frozen or fresh)

1 cup of milk or yogurt

1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 cup of ice

Here's how to make it:

Add the fruits, milk or yogurt, and honey or maple syrup (if using) to a blender.

Add the ice and blend until smooth.

Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

Pour into a glass and enjoy!

You can experiment with different fruits and flavors to create your own unique smoothie combinations. Some popular choices include:

Strawberry banana smoothie: made with strawberries, banana, and milk or yogurt

Blueberry smoothie: made with blueberries, yogurt, and honey or maple syrup

Mango smoothie: made with mango, yogurt, and honey or maple syrup

Dessert drinks come in many forms, and there is something for every taste. From classic milkshakes and smoothies to cocktails, you can always find a way to treat yourself to a delicious and refreshing drink.
