# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like a hidden cafe secret that you can recreate anytime at home.
  • The swirling cookies-and-cream milk makes every glass look and feel special.

  • If you rush the blending, you'll find cookie bits that stubbornly sink to the bottom—take time to blend until creamy.
  • Swirling the milk in slowly creates the dreamy marbled appearance; dumping it in quickly just muddles everything.
