ventaI 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.

Date: 2005-07-16 05:47 pm (UTC)One drop in my bath leaves me slightly tingly, so I'd hate to think of the effect of a few drops in a drink!
I've just had a mint cornetto which gives me the idea of whizzing up some mint icecream and milk to make a mint milkshake.
