Here is a totally awesome Mint Ice-Cream, which is flavoured with fresh mint leaves and not synthetic syrups. This gives the ice-cream a pleasantly minty flavour, which is not overwhelmingly strong or too sweet.

The ice-cream itself is too good, thanks to the proper mix of milk, cream and milk powder, which give it a lusciously creamy consistency. Enjoy the Mint Ice-Cream garnished with a few sprigs of mint. You could also top it with a complementary ingredient like stewed strawberries or chocolate chips .
