Shamrock Shakes

It is tradition in my home to make (or buy) :) Shamrock Shakes for St. Patrick's Day. The above is not my picture as I haven't made them yet (since it's not St. Patty's Day yet) this year, and I never took pictures in past years. They are so easy to make and SOOOOO yummy. All you need is:

Vanilla Ice Cream
Milk
Mint Flavoring
Green Food Coloring

That's it! I don't measure out my ingredients. I just put enough ice cream in for our whole family and add enough milk to make it the consistency I like for shakes. Then put a TINY bit of mint flavoring. And I mean a TINY unless you want to clear your sinuses cause it is STRONG. Put 3 or 4 drops of green food coloring and you're done. They are so worth the very little effort it takes to make. And of course they're fun for St. Patricks Day. Oh yes, and you can add a dollop of whip cream on top like the girl from Back to Her Roots did in her picture. I think that will be added to our yearly tradition this year. Yum!
