I've had a jar of coffee and you can't stop me from sleeping all weekend

I am a big fan of mint milkshakes. They are, however, tricky to find. Java, the internet café in Whitby, sells them. I found a stall at Glastonbury that sold them. But that's it.

A while back, I bought some peppermint oil from Culpeper's. I wondered if a few drops, mixed with milk, would be nice.

It wasn't.

It really, really wasn't. It was all the bad stuff mint can be: harsh, and bitter, and making the back of your throat feel like someone was blowing freezing cold air down it. I suspect I put too much in (though it was only a few drops). But I don't think it'd be nice even if you got the quantities right.

Don't do it, kids. I've gone back to the banana Nesquik.

Could you try whizzing some fresh mint with milk?

Yup, tried that, and it's pretty horrible too :) I don't think it's sweet enough - I don't have a very sweet tooth, but you need something to take the harsh edge off the mint.
