Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 cup cold milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Add ice cream, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and mint leaves to a blender. Tip: For extra mint flavor, gently bruise the leaves before adding.
  2. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. Tip: If too thick, add 1-2 tbsp more milk; if too thin, add another scoop of ice cream.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup if desired. Tip: Blend again briefly to incorporate.
  4. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a mint sprig or lemon slice. Tip: Serve immediately for best texture.
