Homemade "Shamrock Shakes"

It is officially March, which means it is the season for minty ice cream goodness at a fast food restaurant near you.  We usually make a family trip for the shakes on St. Patrick's Day, but the restaurant was almost always out of them or the shake machine was down. Phooey. These are the easiest thing ever to make at home.

If you really want to take the easy route -- just get some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, add some milk and blend away!

Homemade Shamrock Shakes

Vanilla Ice Cream

Milk

Peppermint extract

For 2 shakes, use about 8-10 scoops of ice cream, 2/3 cup milk and a few drops of extract. The mint is STRONG so use less and add more. Blend it together in a blender. Add green food coloring if you want it to be green!
