My family usually has cornbeef, potatoes, and cabbage for St. Patty's supper. We're not Irish at all so it's simply for fun. I wanted one of those yummy shamrock shakes from McDonald's but the drive to the nearest one is too far and I don't want to leave the warm house today (the sun is shining and outside thermometer shows it's 35 degrees F out but the wind sounds so strong pushing against the side of the house it must be closer to 20 degrees out there). So I found a recipe on the Internet to make a shamrock shake at home but I still have to leave the house to get vanilla ice cream and peppermint extract at the store for the recipe.
Shamock Shake2 cups vanilla ice cream
3/4 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
8 drops of green food coloring
Blend everything in a blender at hight speed until smooth
This recipe makes 1 serving
