Shamrock Shake Recipe

Hello, friends! I'm sure you're familiar with the amazing, once a year milkshake at McDonald's: The Shamrock Shake. Not only is this drink delicious in its sweet mint flavor, it's festive green color is awesome. Today, I'm going to teach you how to save some money and trips to McDonald's by giving you my Shamrock Shake recipe. 

Ingredients: About one pint, a small in McDonald's sizing

1. 2 big scoops of vanilla ice-cream
2. 1/2 c of milk
3. 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
4. 1-2 drops of green food coloring
5. Whipped cream (optional)
6. Green sprinkles (totally necessary, but optional)

How To

1. Get out a blender and scoop two big scoops of ice-cream into it.
2. Pour in 1/2 c of milk. Add more or less depending on how thick you want the drink.
3. Add in a teensy weensy 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract. This stuff is STRONG, so use sparingly.
4. Squeeze out a couple drops of green food coloring. This step has no effect on the flavor, but increases the authenticity of the shake.
5. Blend until thoroughly mixed
6. Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream and sprinkles. 
7. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this super easy recipe and that it was helpful. Now you can have Shamrock Shakes year round!
