Although I blended for the 20 sec required which should be enough time to properly mix up that batter into the drink, I still was getting small chunks through my straw and overall the drink didn't seem as sweet and velvety as I had imagined. I was thinking a little more ice to help break down the batter and maybe another 10 secs blending (to accommodate for my very basic Hamilton Beach drink mixer). I also created a super small batch of the batter just for myself with this one test drink - creating more batter for more guests at once would allow me to whisk better and more thoroughly. Any suggestions, to anybody out there? I know the drink become very residue-y, but that's normal. I don't think the small chunks in the drink and eventually through the straw are, however. =\
