Notes
- Add more or less milk, depending on the thickness you like
- If you don't have a high speed blender, like a vitamix, it can take a couple of minutes to really blend up the leaves, don't worry, it will get there!
- If you don't have mint extract, you can use peppermint, but use half the amount.
- For more subtle mint, leave the extract out completely.
- Makes 2 large shakes, to fill milk shake glasses, or, several smaller shakes. (about 4 cups total depending on the amount of milk
