You can find this ice cream at Fresh Market on 11525 Cantrell Road Little Rock, AR 72223. Hope this is what you are really looking for in Peppermint Ice Cream.

If you feel so inclined to make a batch at home. Use a basic vanilla ice cream and add 2 teaspoons of peppermint oil and 1/2 to 1 cup Crushed peppermints.

Merry Christmas!!!

If you want to get technical, there are hundreds of types of mints, but generally people think of peppermint, spearmint, apple, pineapple, and chocolate mint.
Here's a short article:

If you are concerned about health effects, the NIH National Library of Medicine has an easy-to-read blurb:

You can dry the leaves by hanging a bundle of stems in your house until the leaves can be crumbled. I put the leaves into a small container, like an herb jar and toss it in the freezer to extend its usual shelf life beyond 6 months. I just harvested more from my garden this weekend.

The local garden guy, P. Smith, suggests a few ways to use your mints, but you can find plenty of recipes on-line:

Like our Anne Bonney Pirate, you could have your own peppermint ice cream next year without the commercial uncertainty.

2 1/2 c whole milk
2 3/4 c sugar

Crush peppermints in food processor or blender (or in a sturdy bag with a hammer). Stir the peppermints into the chilled mixture, then freeze in an ice cream freezer.

And now Max has a food blog. Just what he always wanted.

But what's commercial ice cream without a good dose of cold-tar food dye.
