| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, mint extract, and a drop of green food coloring (if using). Process until the mixture becomes foamy and well combined. |
| 2 | Pour into Dish: Pour the creamy mixture into a freezer-safe dish, ensuring it’s spread evenly. |
| 3 | Freezing: Place the dish in the freezer and let it chill for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the edges start to become icy. |
| 4 | Stirring: Take the dish out and give it a good stir. Return it to the freezer for another 30 minutes or until it reaches a slightly firm consistency. |
| 5 | Creamy Touch (Optional): For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or soy milk at this stage. Stir it in well with the ice cream mixture. |
