This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UFL chapter.

Everyone’s talking about the Black Tap NYC’s milkshakes, and they’re taking the Internet by storm (too soon?). These shakes are a huge hit, but unfortunately, not everyone can make it to NYC to see what all the fuss is about (or spend $15). Fortunately, we’ve come up with a few milkshake recipes that will allow you to make something similar in your own home so you can still share in all the fun.
