Homemade Shamrock Shake

Here is my version of the famous McDonalnd's Shamrock Shake. This minty milkshake is very refreshing and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.

Ingredients (2 servings):

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup milk

1/2 tsp peppermint exract

1 drop or 1/4 tsp green food color

Whipped cream and green marshmallows or sprinkles, optional

Directions:

1. In a blender, place ice cream, milk, peppermint exract and green food color, cover and blend until smooth.  
   
2. Pour into glasses. Top with whipped cream and marshmallows or sprinkles, if needed. Serve immediately.

Instead of peppermint extract you can use mint syrup, for example Teisseire Menthe. However, you will need about 2 teaspoons of the syrup.
