Ok, this is my fault. I think I made it more confusing than it could be. Doesn't the ice cream recipe call for peppermint extract AND creme de menthe? I have the extract, but I want to use creme de menthe FLAVORING instead of regular creme de menthe liquor. I assume the creme de menthe flavoring is much stronger than the liquor- I might be spelling that wrong- so I wanted to know how much to change the recipe forthe flavoring. I did not think of tasting it before freezing it- stupid me.
Sorry for the confusion! Thank you for responding.

Hi, sorry, my fault. I don't know that recipe by heart and should have checked. Yes, it does call for both extract and creme de menthe. The creme de menthe is really just going to give the color, most of the flavor is from the extract.
I'm not familiar with creme de menthe flavoring. My guess is that it's close to peppermint extract. You might try 1/2 t of it in the recipe, and then taste it. You could probably mix and match the peppermint extract and the creme de menthe flavoring, or just use one or the other. I think you're gonna have to just try a bit of each and keep tasting!
