Ingredients:

1-3/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt
3 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1-3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
4 drops green food coloring, optional

1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk to 175°; stir in the sugar and salt until dissolved. Whisk in a small amount of the hot mixture to the eggs. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon and reaches at least 160°, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
2. Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes. Stir in whipping cream, extracts and food coloring if desired. Press plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
