Chilled Lava Froth

Readers in the Southern Hemisphere will enjoy this refreshing holiday drink! It uses fresh mint: If there’s none in the garden, you’ll find it among the many small packages of fresh herbs at your local green-grocer’s.

1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint
1-½ c. whole milk
1-½ c. vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
½ tsp. almond extract
