Notes

Adjust the amount of peppermint extract to suit your taste preference for mintiness.
Use full-fat ice cream and whole milk for a creamier texture, or substitute with low-fat options for a lighter version.
Green food coloring is optional and can be replaced with natural alternatives like spinach juice for a natural green tint.
Consume immediately for the best flavor and texture; the shake may separate if left to stand.
For a dairy-free alternative, use vegan ice cream and plant-based milk.
