Peppermint!

[plumtreeblossom]

The peppermint growing in my balcony garden tastes heavenly. I have a leaf in my mouth right now.

My idea is to make "garden peppermint ice cream" using pureed mint leaves as the flavoring (and coloring) The problem is, I have neither an ice cream machine nor a food processor. There's no room left to store things in our counterless, cabinetless kitchen. Anyone want to loan? You'd get some of the ice cream.

(BTW, I don't go to Baitcon, so I can't make the ice cream there.)

this is what I used to teach the kids when I was a summer camp counselor.

there's a video here which has a tip I hadn't used, of snipping the tip off the smaller bag, which is certainly easier than opening it to scoop : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3-OAwhIvU0

We've used this method with good result except we wrapped the plastic zip bags in an additional layer of old towel. or tatty t-shirt.

Some of the people in my elderly building did a workshop on this procedure and all agreed that the ice cream was fine. So, why not give it a try?

Neat idea! I may just try it!
