Shamrock Shake for St Patrick's Day

[C0ldf1re]

St Patrick's Day falls on Saturday 17th March 2012.

Although I am really rather English, the British Isles have been genetically mixed-about over the last two thousand years, so I'd be surprised if I didn't have at least a drop of Irish blood in me.

On St Patrick's Day, my Irish bits come to the fore, and some 8 pints of Guinness are obligatory. But sometime before or after the beer, a nice milkshake does not go amiss.

Here is the very easy recipe for a Shamrock Shake, to make 2 glasses.

Ingredients

2 cups of vanilla ice cream
1 1/4 cups skimmed milk or low-fat milk
1/4 tsp liquid mint extract (or juice of fresh squeezed mint leaves if you have a garden)
8 drops of green food colouring

Method

Just put into a blender until smooth!

For a moment, I thought Shamrock Shake was an Irish dance, oh well, no matter, the drink sounds even better!

Chocolate mint is my favorite flavor

But I like it too!

There's no rule against adding chocolate too! Probably add about 200g of milk chocolate to the above recipe.
