Ingredients
• 1-¼ cups vanilla ice cream
• ½ cup 2% milk
• ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
• Green food coloring, optional
• ⅓ cup whipped cream
• 1 maraschino cherry
Directions
Step 1: Add ingredients to the blender
Place the ice cream and milk in a blender. Add in the peppermint extract and squeeze in a few drops of green food coloring.
Step 2: Blend the shake
Blend everything together until the mixture is thick and smooth. The color should be a bright shade of green—blend in a bit more food coloring if necessary. Give the mixture a taste to see if it's minty enough for you. If not, add another drop or two of peppermint extract.
Step 3: Pour and serve
Pour the milkshake mixture into a tall, chilled glass. Top it off with whipped cream and a cherry. Add a straw and serve immediately.
