CREME DE MENTHE GELATO
This gelato recipe is made the old fashioned way but you can use an ice cream freezer if you have one. Use green creme de menthe for the lovely green color. Allow up to 7 hours for freezing. You can add 2/3 cup chocolate chips at the freezing stage for mint chocolate chip gelato if desired.
