We planted mint in the garden this year. I always think its a great idea to plant mint. Then I never know what to do with it all!
This is a quick recipe to make, so if you are looking for a sweet treat, try this out.
Everything blends well and the drink becomes very smooth.
The mint permeates the drink very well. It really is a chocolate mint shake, just a little thinner.
The recipe is good on its own. My husband wanted a little something added to it. So we added a jigger and a half of vodka to our glasses.
This is good either way, but the vodka was a lovely addition.
