- 2 ½ cups ice cream
- ½ cup half and half
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon mint extract
- Green food coloring
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)

- You can add more mint if you want a really strong minty flavor.
- Since you are in control, if you want to customize this by adding chocolate chips or mint chip ice cream, you can. Just be aware that it will taste different from the McDonald's version.
- Adding more ice cream will result in a thicker shake, and more milk or half and half will result in a thinner one so you can adjust to your liking.
- This recipe is easy to double so you can make enough for everyone!
