Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons mint syrup
    or
  • 1-2 teaspoons mint extract
  • A few drops of green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, and either the mint syrup or the mint extract along with green food coloring if using, into a blender.
  2. Blend: Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner shake or more ice cream for a thicker shake.
  3. Taste and adjust: Taste your shake and if desired, add more mint syrup or extract to enhance the mint flavor according to your preference.
  4. Serve: Pour the shake into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the creamiest and most flavorful shake.
  • If you prefer natural ingredients, use mint extract and green food coloring instead of mint syrup, which may contain added sugars and artificial colors.
  • Add whipped cream or a cherry on top for a festive garnish.
  • To make it vegan, substitute vanilla non-dairy ice cream and plant-based milk.
  • Adjust the amount of mint flavoring cautiously as it can be quite strong.
