   This sounds yummy, but I’m confused why it’s green??!!
   Isn’t peppermint extract colourless?

   Hi Emma,
   Thank you for your comment, and question. Sometimes it’s green Have you seen the liquor- crème de menthe? It’s also green.
   Actually, it’s impossible to get any mint here, but as we were traveling last fall, I picked up a bit of peppermint extract when we were in Germany…it was green. I was happy about that, as I did not need any food coloring. The strength of the minty-ness also varies from one country to the next, so one should add a bit at first and taste, then adjust according to your preference. I hope you try it and enjoy.

   This looks so good and perfect for St. Patrick’s day! I bet this would taste good with actual mint added to it. I’m going to try it. Thanks for the recipe!

   Hi Mighty Vegan,
   Thank you for your comment
   es, it was very nice indeed. A special treat Be careful adding your mint as it varies, some brands are very strong.others seem milder. So add a bit at first and taste it. I always used to love peppermint ice cream when I was growing up. It was usually pink though.
   This was very nice too. I hope you enjoy it.

   Hi Joe,
   Thanks for your comment and yours looks very yummy to It’s funny about the flavor o peppermint- not everyone is so fond of it and some even think it’s like medicine. But, we enjoyed it, and are glad that you did too
