I chose to make this frozen treats today and just what a great recipe. Used to do use extract because I didn't have sufficient fresh mint to really make it. I made use of dove cream de menthe chocolates sliced up rather of small chocolate because it is exactly what I'd on hands. It's so good. I don't put color in mine which is so fun for everyone it to guest and also have their reactions once they taste the mint. This can become my visit recipe with this frozen treats. Thank you for discussing it.

This frozen treats is simply amazing! Some time consuming, sure. But totally worthwhile. It’s so great which i’m made to grow more mint the coming year -)
Hi Nice website a great deal however i just were built with a thought in your mind. Will it be better to determine the mint by weight rather of volume? Just how much would three cups weigh? Because many people could pack it lighter some could pack it in heavier.
Also which are the improvement in taste between spearmint and peppermint?
Hi Matt, weight could be better, though many people don’t possess a kitchen scale. I’ll attempt to remember next time I get this to to weigh the mint leaves. Spearmint and peppermint do taste completely different. With this recipe you need to use spearmint leaves.
Hi Elise! I really like your site! I discovered it a couple of years back and also have been an enthusiastic follower every since. Every recipe you have I've attempted, I've loved!

Its a keeper. Many thanks!
