Scrape out the pulp from the vanilla pod and place in a blender with the milk.
Add the cleaned, stalked strawberries and the vanilla ice cream and mix vigorously. Here you should use a good vanilla ice cream that has a strong taste. I don`t need sweets then, but if you want that, you can do that.
Fill the milkshake into two large glasses and serve with a strawberry slice on the edge of the glass, if desired. The ice cream makes this shake a fine refreshment.
